GnatGoSplat Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Wow, that Pontiac G6 looks like an 04 Grand Prix mated with a Dodge Neon! I can't say I saw anything worth drooling over. The only car that I thought looks good is the Saab 9-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBat Posted January 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 personally I think the azz of that "Saturn Curve" is one of the ugliest pieces of automotive work I've seen in some time...all I can see is a nissan murano back-humping the chysler atlantic show car from a couple of years ago...yeesh! what were they thinking?

Jon89le Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Egh, nothing to nice. The only Pontiac i like is the Solstice. The New Mustang i think looks real sweet. Totally retro design which is what GM needs to F'ing do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigEpCutlass Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 i'll be going to the Philadelphia Internation auto show come early february! I'll be going and I'll try and take some pictures! I'm going to hold all commenting on all cars till I see them in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBat Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I've read some inside dirt that says Bob Lutz is pushing hard to get the Solstice into production. He wants to turn Pontiac into "the american BMW" don't know how much luck he's gonna have doing that but I read the Solstice is aimed squarely at the Mazda Miata...I can't help it though, it breaks my heart and pisses me off all at the same time when I see how Ford has reinvented the mustang while bigdaddy GM flushed the Firebird down the drain!

Vegeta Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Get me some pics of the 3500, 3900, 3.6 DOHC and some specs:) PICS! I liked the G6 from the last pics I saw of it...i didn't see shit on that link other than a lot of BS. Its getting a 60V6 too, possibly with boost.

I liked the G6 from the last pics I saw of it...i didn't see shit on that link other than a lot of BS. Its getting a 60V6 too, possibly with boost. Here's a direct link to the gallery. I don't like the G6 at all. From the rear 3/4, it's a dead-ringer for the Neon. Looks like an 04 Grand Prix mated with an 04 Neon and this was their baby.

Vegeta Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I like the interior and the side and the front is ok. The rear, yeah, im not into the high rise hatch inspired rear but that would change the whole design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurneroftheRice Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Is it just me or does it look like the Chevy Nomad, Pontiac Solstice, and Saturn Curve seem to be on the same plateform? NOt that GM hasnt done this before but what with the talk about the Solstice being RWD and maybe a V8 could these be the replacements for the F-bodies? I dunno, just thinking...always thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpion_x9 Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 What...the....FU**, is THAT!?!?! That's the most rediculous thing I've ever seen! Good thing it's only a concept car. It's worse than a VW Beetle. Looks like they got some pretty sweet cars, other than that. I wish I could go to Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musthavemuzk Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 what will they not do to the PT to get more sales? http://www.freep.com/autos/photos/autoshow_2004/05ptcruiservert/index.htm last year they topped a 4 cylinder with a turbo. and now they dropped the top.
