Pontiac took the wraps off coupe and convertible G6 variants, giving the so-called "excitement" division a broad range of new, midsize products. Like the sedan, these two-door models have been designed and tuned for a bit more Euro flavor than commonly found in domestic, mainstream products. These two models each ride on a 122.3-inch wheelbase, providing a 2+2 seating configuration with room for adults in the back. Large doors ease ingress/egress, measuring six-inches longer than the portals on the sedan. To ensure structural rigidity, coupe platform was fortified for the open-top model ensuring similar ride characteristics between the two. Karmann played a lead role in develop the two-piece clamshell-style retractable hardtop that makes the G6 convertible unique in its price point in the North American market. This slick piece lays claim to being the longest such top in the world, necessitated by the large interior. GT models will be powered by a 3.5L/200-hp V-6, with the GTP models boasting a more invigorating 3.9L/240-hp V-6.
