Everything in the G6 is new...from the underpinnings, to the new V6, to the Bentley (Feoria or something like that) designed interior. Calling the G6 a Grand Am is like calling the SVX an XT.
the new Legacy is a total redesign, too. they could have given it a new name, but they didn't.

The funny part is, your "31%" sales increase still means that Subaru is selling less than half the number of legacies that Pontiac is selling of the G6's. And you call the G6 a sales flop. Shouldn't that mean the Legacy is too? Of course not, because were talking about different production levels. But it puts it in perspective.
the difference is, people are buying them and Subaru is *making* money on them, not *losing* money. if GM sells more G6's than Legacy's, and is *losing* money, they aren't very smart, are they?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh my god I can't stop laughing.

That was a joke right?

Scions look like the product of some 6 year old's wish to make his toys big. The G6 looks like a modern sedan, the TC looks like father weeble's car.




i dunno, i thnk the Scion looks better. the G6 looks like someone took a Grand Am, grabbed it above its headlights, and stretched it back giving it a brow lift. i'll admit, i don't know much about Scion's, and i wouldn't buy either of these cars.

How do we know they're actually losing money?

Yeah my girlfriend is thinking about buying a new car and LOVES both of them. HELP PLEASE!

I'm not a HUGE fan of the G6 styling. I don't think it looks bad, but most of the new Pontiacs have a "Badass" kinda look to them. The G6 definetly does not.

maybe not specifically on the G6, but its poor sales aren't helping.

"General Motors Corp posted yesterday a quarterly net loss of US$1.1bil, its worst results since the industrial icon skirted bankruptcy in 1992, due to weaker US sales and growing costs for employee healthcare and goods to build cars......"

the official mullet-mobile is the IROC-Z Camaro, BTW. also a favorite of young Italian men (who may,or may not be sporting teh mullet.)

must be neat seeing Lotuses and Ferraris with mullet-headed drivers.
