Introduction
The 2009 Pontiac G6 is Pontiac's sporty, performance-oriented midsize car that is offered in sedan, coupe and convertible versions. Built on General Motors’ global Epsilon architecture which provides rigidity and body stiffness for a quiet, solid ride and more responsive handling characteristics, the G6 was the first vehicle to incorporate Pontiac’s new design direction and renewed emphasis on performance when it debuted as a sedan for the 2005 model year. Coupe and convertible versions of the G6 were added for the 2006 model year. For 2008 Pontiac added the performance-oriented G6 GXP sedan and coupe to the lineup featuring a unique exterior and a more powerful V6 engine.
