Not at all regrettable though, is the wealth of standard comfort and convenience
amenities accompanying Pontiac's top-line two-door G6. The list includes power windows, keyless entry and power locks, power folding exterior mirrors, dual-zone climate control, rear seat heat ducts, a driver information centre, 6-way power driver seat, split back folding rear seats, an 8-speaker Monsoon audio system with steering wheel mounted controls, steering wheel mounted cruise control, power adjustable pedals (only with auto transmission) and fog lights.
Pontiac has done very well for itself with the G6 GTP Coupe. Buyers in the mid-size coupe market now have another realistic contender to assess before claiming title to a new ride. Certainly there isn't much in this segment that trumps the vehicle's sleek design and performance thresholds. Like a young athlete with much potential but a few weaknesses, the G6 GTP Coupe has a lot of soul and a winning spirit making it a serious contender, and a blast to drive fast.
