Pontiac Announces G6 Coupe and G6 Convertible

Coupe and hardtop convertible models with true 2+2 seating have joined the G6 sedan to create an entire family of expressive, new Pontiac performers. Pontiac introduced the G6 coupe and G6 convertible at the 2005 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show.

The 2006 Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible offers customers open-air driving, as well as the security and refinement of a coupe. Its Karmann-designed retractable hardtop operates with the touch of single button and takes less than 30 seconds to transform from coupe-like styling to top-down convertible.

Both the coupe and convertible deliver 2+2 seating suitable for four adults. This was enabled by the G6’s class-leading 112.3-inch (2852 mm) wheelbase, which stretches the wheels to the vehicle corners and allows for increased rear-seat legroom.

Both the G6 coupe and G6 convertible will be available in GT and GTP models. The GTPs will feature a 240 horsepwer 3.9L OHV V6 coupled to a 4-speed automatic with manual shift mode or a 6-speed manual in the coupe and sedan models – a package that targets driving enthusiasts.

The coupe and convertible models share the inherent attributes and strengths of the G6 sedan, including four-wheel independent suspension, a driver-oriented interior and a host of refined details. Highlights of the G6 coupe and convertible models include:

Unique rear end styling with bold taillamp design

Indexing door window glass on coupe and convertible models

2+2 seating configuration, with rear-seat console with cup holders in the coupe

Easy rear-seat entry

17-inch wheels standard on G6 GT and GTP coupe

A true 2+2

The G6’s rigid, European-designed structure and class-leading 112.3-inch wheelbase is the foundation for the coupe and convertible models. It provides optimum interior space along with excellent ride and handling characteristics. It also enables the G6 lineup’s striking design, including styling for the coupe and convertible models that affords true 2+2 seating for four adults.

Both the coupe and convertible have easy access doors. They’re 6 inches (152.4 mm) longer than the G6 sedan’s front doors and are about 2 or 3 inches longer than doors on most competitors’ coupes.

Once in the rear seat, passengers will find room to stretch. Both the coupe and convertible offer approximately 35 inches (889 mm) of rear legroom. For comparison, the Grand Prix sedan offers 36.5 inches of rear legroom. Headroom, too, is comparable to the G6 sedan, with the rear seat design providing an extra measure of space to accommodate the rake of the roofline.

Compared with the G6 sedan, the coupe and convertible models have all-new body panels rearward of the A-pillars. Large, wraparound tail lamps on both models create a distinct look compared to the G6 sedan. LED-lit Center High Mounted Stop Lamps (CHMSLs) on the coupe and convertible differ from the traditional incandescent bulbs of the sedan’s CHMSL. The coupe’s CHMSL is located at the base of the rear window, while the convertible’s is a wider lamp incorporated into the decklid, creating a distinct design element. And although the roof does not fold up on coupe models, a sunroof is available.

Performance

GT models are powered by the 3.5L V-6, which produces 200 horsepower (149 kw) at 4800 rpm with 220 lb.-ft. of torque (302 Nm) at 4400 rpm. The 3500 engine is backed by the Hydra-Matic 4T45-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode.

The exhilarating GTP models are powered by an all-new 3.9L HO V-6, which is rated at 240 horsepower (179 kw) at 5900 rpm with 245 lb.-ft. of torque (339 Nm) at 2800 rpm. It is paired in the standard package with the Hydra-Matic 4T65-E with manual shift mode. It also is available with a six-speed manual transmission in the G6 coupe.

Both powertrains are channeled into a responsive, four-wheel independent suspension system that features MacPherson struts in the front and a four-link design in the rear. Similar to the G6 sedan, the coupe and convertible models are tuned to provide a controlled, sporty ride with reduced body roll during cornering. GTP models are tuned for optimal performance driving, including the use of a hydraulic power steering system.
