Pontiac G6 Introduces New Body Styles for 2006

Produced by General Motors, Pontiac is a marque of automobiles that has been sold in the United States, Canada, and Mexico since the year 1926 making it around eighty years – one of the longest brands to stay in the market. Looking at the General Motors line up, the Pontiac is a mid-level brand that features a more sporting, and performance-driving experience for a reasonable price. It also adds up a youthful feel to its advertising. In its history, it was introduced by GM as a lower-priced version of their Oakland Motor Car line.

In terms of its logo, the Pontiac logo was originally meant to represent an Indian, the Native American, arrow-head. One of the earliest slangs for this brand was to call it an Indian, which at present is still used by a couple hot rodders and enthusiasts. And one of the remarkable vehicles that bear this logo is the 2006 Pontiac G6 – a 2 or 4-door sports car, family sedan or sports sedan that can take up to five passengers. Made available in seven trims, this vehicle ranges from the 1 SV to the GTP sedan. It has a gas mileage of 23 mpg if you are looking at city driving, or 34 mpg if it means driving on the highway. It has a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Introduced in 2005, the Pontiac G6 was made to be seen as an all-new vehicle. And for sure, additional improvements have been done in to live up to its name. Two additional body styles joining the original sedan is the biggest change done to the Pontiac G6 for this year. Late last year, a two-door coupe made its way to the market, and this year 2006, a two-door convertible will be rolling off the highways. The Pontiac G6’s convertible top is a two-piece clamshell design that drops cleanly into the trunk when lowered. Also added in is a new performance-oriented GTP trim level that includes a 240-horsepower V6, an available six-speed manual transmission, 18-inch wheels, and standard stability control. Also included in the list of changes done to this model are a standard power driver’s seat, a new front-passenger detection system for airbag deployment, and a new three-spoke steering wheel design.
