Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryMidsize sedans are efficient, reliable, and practical. These attributes are what make them so popular. But if you crave a bit more excitement in your family sedan, the 2008 Pontiac G6 has got you covered. The Pontiac G6, which shares a platform with the Chevrolet Malibu, delivers bold styling and powerful, available V6 engines. It also offers a Coupe variant, as well as an innovative power-retractable hardtop convertible. This design combines top-down motoring and confident four-season protection from the elements. | |
