Edmunds Evaluation: 2006 Pontiac G6 Convertible

So, don't buy the 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP convertible if you're looking for a convertible sports car. Don't buy it either if you dream of throwing two suitcases in the trunk, lowering the top and heading off for a romantic weekend. You'll be disappointed on both counts.

Instead, buy it because it's a reasonably priced, attractive, six-days-a-week coupe that, when conditions allow, will afford a couple hours of top-down motoring with you and three of your luggage-less friends. On Monday, you can put the top back up for urban jungle duty — or if it begins snowing. Just like we said at the top of this page, the practicality and convenience of a four-seat coupe with a retractable hardtop is alluring.

I didn't realize the 3.6/6-speed were going into the GTP. That fixes my main gripe with the car.

It looks good in that pic above.

Part of me wishes the G6 coupe looked like the 'vert with the top up.

[Flybrian]

The biggest advantage to this car is that it can seat four real-sized people.

but from here the G6 almost looks like the Toyota Solara convertible.

No. The Solara looks like $h!. Key difference.

Not a bad review... Obviously Epsilon is a compromised platform no matter how you polish it (Aura, G6 GTP) and I'm sure there are a lot of areas where cost won out in this exercise (especially given it was OLD skool GM) But it's still a good offering and cool to boot!
