Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The G5 looks sporty enough to satisfy most auto writers, who favorably compare the car's stance to its platform-mate, Chevy Cobalt. 

• "With its twin grille nostrils separated by an arrowhead-like divider, there is no mistaking the G5 for anything but a Pontiac. Pontiac has steadily and consistently nurtured and developed this design theme since 1961, and now it is surely one of the most, if not the most, recognizable motif in the U.S. auto industry." -- New Car Test Drive
• "Youthful buyers, in particular, are likely to gravitate toward the 2009 Pontiac G5, lured by its curvy two-door profile and frisky performance, even in base-model form." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "While the G5 is slightly more attractive than its relative, its styling still lacks the 'excitement' that Pontiac strives for." -- Edmunds
