    yeah, what's tradition to gm if it doesn't involve chebby? the GP is the longest running Poncho car, but that's got to go. see my rant over the killing of the Bonnie for further details.

        Whats wrong with the G5 and G6? Not every model in the line up can be a RWD V8.

          A design snoozefest. My wife test drove a G6, got to the end of the dealer lot, turned out, and said the car was crap. Never even took it on the road - a bolted together steamy pile of horse crap.

            Wait, boring design? Or horrible quality? For all we know, that G8 can be a big bolted together steamy pile of horse crap too, :p.

                  The G6 hard top vert is pretty cool, but I would never buy a GM hard top vert. Other than that they are just boring and offer nothing to make them stand out against the other cars in that class. I can't speak for build quailty or driving experience because I have never driven on.

                    Re: pontiac G8

                    I gotta disagree with you two. I think the G5 and G6 are pretty decent considering its boring or fugly competition: Focus, Fusion, Carolla, Camry, Altima, Maxima, Civic, Accord...

                    The Mazda's and Subaru's are nice though :p

                    Although I've tried a G5 and not a G6, so I can't speak for the build quality on the latter.

                        I agree on the Mazda and Subaru statement, but have you seen the new altima? It's pretty nice. The maxima is nice also, but cars like that are starting to push how much power a production FWD car can put to the ground.

                            Looks like a beamer in that quarter shot...

                            I've driven plenty of G6s and they're nice little cars. Nothing to look at on the the outside, but the interior is at least as nice in quality as a japanese car, and its a hell of a lot nicer to look at.

                                It does not have the LS2. Its just a 6.0L GM truck motor.

                                  At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                                  Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
