... I think it was $1800 in '99, but I could be remembering wrong

Driven one yet???

Yes I did. The interior was exceptionally nice. It ran well, but I actually expected a little more "oomph." I have to say that the ride and handling is much better than my GA, but actually for the money difference I think I would possibly consider a GP instead.

I haven't got the bug yet, and probably won't until after winter. I hate the thought of getting a new car and driving it through all the crap right of the bat.

I know the feeling, Tom. I bought my car on Nov 1, 2002.

 

[99grandamse]

Money difference? Actually Tom, I thought the price was very comparable to the GA ... IIRC, the G6GT was around $31,000 CDN which wasn't too far off the GAGT

 

[sunrunner_pei]

Pretty close for the GT... but the GTP model will be close to the cost of a GP GTP.

 

[99grandamse]

Probably

 

[Old Guy]

When I did an honest comparison, GPGT vs. G6GT it comes to a $1000 difference, and you actually get a few options that you don't get on the G6. Plus the incentives on a GP are better. The difference between a loaded G6 and the GTP is $3000 stricker and there is no comparison at all between those two.

The incentive on a G6 is only $1000, and the incentive on a GP is $3500. I'd say it's a no brainer.

 

[Old Guy]

Actually the base price on the GP is lower when you deduct the incentives.

Have you taken the GP for a spin as well?...it is a heavier car (around 240 lbs.)...that could play havoc on the handling...just my 2 cents since I have driven neither.

The other thing is the GTP w/Comp G package didn't impress me too much its 1/4 mile times were 15.015 acording to the booklet from the dealer...I would expect a supercharged 3800 to be pulling down at least mid to low 14's...just my opinion though...

I test drove the first G6 to come at my dealer about 2 or 3 weeks ago. To me, the handling is better than the GrandAm (compared to my mom's 03 SE, not my 94). I loved the seats and the interior too.

As I saw at the dealer, the G6 is actually cheaper than the Grand Am was.
The base model G6 is 24 700$ which include V6, a/c, almost power everything and cd player, but now rims. My mom's 03 GA SE1 was 26400$ with comparable equipements with the Ecotec and 15 inches rims.

I know the feeling, Tom. I bought my car on Nov 1, 2002.

How about January 9th 2002? Probably the worst time ever to buy a car but my pos Topaz leaving me stranded 200km from home on Dec. 23rd really pissed me off

 

[sunrunner_pei]

I know the feeling, Ben. Talk about a motivated seller.

 

[Crackers]

WE GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Look at the problem/solution section; a real, live G6 (with a real problems!)

 

[sunrunner_pei]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! *does happy dance*

 

[Old Guy]

What does he win????

 

[PontiacGrandAnn]

I guess I'm the second person to get one...

I absolutely LOVE this car! I have a 2005 G6 GT in Stealth Gray with the Panaramic sunroof! I was surprised how comfortable it is to drive. I love the interior as well.

 

[Old Guy]

Well I guess we can now call this a real G6 site!! You guys need to post some kind of a little review and pics!!

 

[jmberry]

[Crackers]
