kink, similar to that of a BMW, whilethe convertible quarter glass and C-pillar meet at a point. Bothdesigns are attractive, and completely unique to the shape offered bythe sedan, which only shares the same body panels ahead of theA-pillars by the way. Other distinct coupe and convertible features areangular, wraparound taillamps, and LED Center High Mounted Stop Lamps(CHMSLs). The coupe's CHMSL is positioned at the base of the rearwindow, while the convertible uses a wider lamp integrated into therear decklid.

That rear decklid, by the way, only manages to stow up to 61 liters(1.8 cubic feet) of cargo when the top is lowered which will meanyou'll need to drive with the top up if loaded with luggage. That said, only 164 liters (5.8 cubic feet) of cargo space is available when the top is upright, which is a far cry from the coupe or G6 sedan's accommodating 396 liter (14.0 cubic foot) trunk. The convertible also shortchanges buyers when it comes to airbags, with the coupe being the only vehicle that offers optional side and head curtain airbags. Both cars come standard with dual-stage frontal airbags, of course.
