The General Motors has recently introduced the 2-door, 5-passenger family coupe, the 2007 Pontiac G5. It comes in two different vehicle types – the Coupe and GT Coupe. These are the first new compact cars for GM’s performance division since the Sun fire was dropped a few years ago.
Prices start at $14,995 for the G5 Coupe and $17,795 for the G5 GT Coupe. Two engine options for these cars include the 2.2-liter “Ecotec” four (rated at 25 mpg city/34 highway) and the 2.4-liter 173-horsepower V-6.
At first glance on this vehicle, you might probably call it Chevy Cobalt. The reason is that the Pontiac G5 is built on the same platform built on the Cobalt. Style-wise, the two cars are almost identical. Most writers say this is “badge engineering.” It is that simple. And that is the practice of taking one car and simply making it part of another lineup.
Buyers and car enthusiasts do not like the idea of style-copying from other car brands. But a writer said these Pontiac cars have a lot to offer that is entirely different from the Chevrolet car.
The G5 possesses an aero spoiler, full power equipment and a standard five-speed Get rag manual transmission. It has a MP3 compatible radio, an available XM Satellite radio, and turn-by-turn voice navigation from On Star.
Meanwhile, Pontiac is still touting its beautiful G6 coupe, convertible and sedan.
Highlighting the exterior of the G6 Coupe, styling changes is visible in a redesigned front face, featuring an integrated lower air dam and an aggressive color treatment of Pontiac’s signature twin-port grille, as well as a twin air scoop hood. Around the back area, the new rear fascia shows off the dual chrome-tipped exhaust and unique hammerhead spoiler. Side rocker panels, 19-inch wheels, vented cross-drilled brake rotors, and a 25-mm reduction in suspension height finish off the GXP’s ground-hugging appearance.
For the interior, red accents give the Coupe a sportier flavor than a standard G6. The red leather seat and door panel inserts add the red color trim on the instrument cluster, center stack and door controls.
The G6 Convertible, on the other hand, has a two-piece clamshell-style retractable hardtop. This was developed by Karmann, a convertible engineering specialist. It takes a rough estimation of 30 seconds to change.
The car also uses a double-hinged trunk lid that can open like a normal trunk for heavy luggage storage but has a reverse-hinge system that allows it to accept the folding hardtop.
To ensure a dry interior in rainy, top-up conditions, all G6 convertibles undergo stringent water tests at the factory.
Standard in the Sedan are Side curtain airbags. Front seat mounted torso airbags are still available as an option.
All Pontiac new models have their respective enhanced Pontiac muffler.
In spite these advancements, car enthusiasts say two things let the 2007 Pontiac G6 sedan down: the rear seat’s low roofline and awkward access, and the extreme wind noise from the panoramic sunroof.

- here’s a good website to look for real good, affordable and quality vehicles from official government auctions!
I bought my Honda Accord 2005 for just $2250 with a milage of 5,270!
And it’s been already a year I’m riding my car and it’s still doing well! I’ve recommended it to my friends and all of them are enjoying their used cars and have no problem with it!
One of my friend was very lucky. He got a tuned sports car for just $970!
ADDED: I just found out that it’s been featured in Auto magazine and they received good editorial reviews!
