This is why, for some buyers, a coupe makes a great deal of sense. And despite its two-door layout, which GM says won't hamper ingress and egress for rear passengers, the coupe allows plenty of rear legroom, and then again, a surprising amount of overall seating area. Exactly how much more room? The two-door G6 accommodates two adults in back, in either coupe or convertible guise. Of course, the G6's class-leading 2,852 mm (112.3 inch) wheelbase is also responsible for the extra legroom needed to accomplish such a feat.

And just what levels of outstanding performance was Bunnell referring too? In GTP trim an all-new 3.9L OHV V6 with 240-horsepower at 5,900 rpm and 245 lb-ft of torque at 2,800 rpm should provide plenty of get-up-and-go off the line, especially when mated to the 6-speed manual; which only comes in the G6 coupe and now sedan. The convertible will have to make due with Hydra-Matic 4T65-E 4-speed automatic with manual shift mode, also available on the coupe and sedan.
