Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Whatever its shortcomings, reviewers agree, the 2009 Pontiac G6 is a sharp-looking midsize car. Its rakishly-tilted wedge profile has plenty of admirers. Sedan versions are well-liked, and more sharply-angled coupe versions are very well-liked.

  • "To its credit, the G6 is one of the few cars in the midsize class available in sedan, coupe and convertible body styles, all of which offer attractive styling." -- Edmunds
  • "Crisp lines and a taut stance give the G6 some panache in one of the auto industry's most sedate markets." -- U.S. News
  • "The G6's aerodynamic shape is tight." -- Road and Track 
  • "The Pontiac G6 looks out of balance from several angles and rakishly handsome from others." -- Autobytel
  • "Wheels pushed out to the corners underline a strong stance. Front, side and back, both the G6 Coupe and Sedan look great. The G6 is one of the most attractive cars the Big Three have ever delivered." -- Kelley Blue Book
