G (6, ect.)

[matt41]

In Pontiac, what does it stand for?

[Cory Wolfe]

Absolutely nothing.

[Flybrian]

Yeah. Good questions.

lazyness... they dont want to think up new names and they are afraid to put classic ones on their new products... most people here aren't fans of the whole G# naming scheme

[matt41]

Thanks anyway, guys. I just was wondering. I need a nice name for my medium-sized Pontiac roadster I was drawing. Any suggestions would be appericiated.

i thought someone thought G(eneration) fit grand am... it's sixth generation?

i don't know

[matt41]

Actually it would make sense for G to mean generation.

For the G6 the concept initially was referred to G6 in reference to the sixth generation of the Grand AM. The "G" naming scheme means nothing else on the rest of the car lineup. I don't like the Grand AM name, but Gran Prix, Solstice, GTO all work for me....but in the future I would like to see less reliance on retro names at Pontiac. You can keep your Catalinas, Tempests, Bonnevilles, and Le Mans, thank you very much.
