Well, I got sick and tired of waiting for my dealer to get a G6 coupe, so I traveled the 20 miles to Dubois to their Pontiac dealer. Yeah... they have a few. A white GTP and a silver GT. Looks much better in person. The stance of it is awesome. One of the best I've seen. The rear looks good. Not ideal, but good, none-the-less. The greenhouse is sleek. I mean, talk about a literally fast... back... I bet I could sit a glass on that rear window. The wheels are awesome as well. I love them... they're perfect. Finally, the interior... (other than the fact it had the auto :rolleyes: <_< ) it looked good. It is still growing on me, so I still don't quite like the center stack. They also had a Bonneville GXP. I am sad to say that it was the first I've seen. Really, really sad... considering its not even made anymore. I could do without the fake carbon-fiber accents in the interior, but otherwise it looked great. They had a new Torrent as well. You know... it's a real shame it doesn't have a better powertrain because it is sharp looking. Alot better than the Equinox, inside and out. It just pisses me off that the General still does crap like this... Other than the dealer, I saw a few car carriers. One full of Tribecas and one full of Passats. Wow, the B9 is even uglier in person. The rear and especially the front are terrible. The side isn't bad if you direct your eyes away from each end... The Passat looks so much like a Lucerne fromt the side. Seriously... the only differences are that it has much better looking fascias than the Lucerne. Same.. with... the.... interior...? Hmm...

Um... Let's see if I can remember the URL to one of my pics... *edit* Guess not... :D

Well, I thought I remember Pontiac's website saying they were LED lit... :unsure:

What about the gauges in the G6...? They're LED...

I find the fact they actually put effort into the fogless versions... but otherwise, those gaps are horrible. They better not be shipping them out that way... <_<

Wow... it looks absolutely horrible to me. Especially the side profile. Ugh... :blink: I found this pic to be interesting, though:

If you're anti-gun, don't come to Brookville. I don't think I've seen either movies. They sound good, though. I'll have to rent them sometime. Especially the older one from the sound of it... Hehehehe... :D :P

No... hold the shift key when you press those keys. What do you get? "!?!?!?!?". All it is is mocking sloppy typers that end up putting "!!!!!!1!!!111" or something like that. Usually by putting "!!!!1!1!111oneone". Since it was "?!?!?!?", I put "!?!?!?1/1/1/1/oneslashoneslash...". See? No inside joke, just capitalizing on being bored and stupid.

:word:

Thanks for the help, now how about letting this thread die...

Yes... its all in the gearing. That's why the Solstice gets the mileage it does.

Random thought... I'd hate to know what they would do to a Fiero. Oh my... I can only imagine... a flames paint job!?!?!?!?!?1/1/1/oneslashoneshash1/1/1/!?!?!? Oh the horror and teasing it would recieve.... http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//rotflmao.gif

Dude, how many times have I said that, personally, I could give a crap about this kind of stuff. Being a Pontiac fan will do this to a person... But, you know what... It shuts people up, especially the rags. If they complain, improve it. Improving the materal quality isn't going to hurt Pontiac any... If anything, it will help; regardless of whether it needs it or not. Of course, this is typical GM thinking to only making something 'good enough'. BTW, I still haven't been able to look at and/or sit in a Corvette or a GTO yet... So when do you expect me to do this with a Solstice? Being that this is Brookville, three years from now, if I'm lucky. It's a called rural dealer... So, for the most part, I can only rely on what reviews say. Either from a C&G member or a rag. Get used to it.

Also, the removal of that GM badge is a must. Either that or place it on the rear. Then there is the XM antennae. Does it really have to mounted on the truck the way it is? How about we use what Cadillac is using and hide it. Finally, is that side scoop mounted behind the arrowhead functional? I've seen some pics which make it look like it is and some like it isn't. Make sure it is... just for the hell of it. :D

Oh... So I actually have to read something for that to work!?!?!? :P Yeah, I used to try and pray. I used to believe. I used to ask for him to show me he existed. I used to ask for signs... Needless to say, it was like Santa Clause all over again. Stop beleiving in God and all that just like I did with him. I see no difference and its all mythical to me. Just... lies, IMO. Sorry to be harsh, but that's what I believe. As for using drugs... Its not like I have access to any, anyways. But it may end up with me saying "the hell with it" and/or "f**k it" and just doing it. I've had a few moments like that in my life before. They didn't end well other than the fact that I'm still here. Would drugs make anything better or worse? I don't know, but if I come to that point again, I don't want to go through what I did again. I'd probably be willing to take a chance with drugs. However, I would really like to avoid the drugs altogether. I mean, other than occasional drinking and smoking, I've been rather drug free; medical drugs and recreational drugs. I just don't know how. I appreciate you all trying to help, guys, but it just isn't actually helping. I don't know what you want me to do. All I know for sure is that you don't want to use drugs. What do you what me to do to avoid that? Especially since taking that choice is looking better and better each day....

I find it weird that I probably would have the biggest list of needed improvements, yet I am probably the biggest Pontiac fan here. Huh... :huh: Anyways... here's my list. :lol: :P Interior: -More metal trim. As it is, there is very, very little... Two pieces on the steering wheel. Wow... Somehow, it needs incorporated into the design. Dash, door panels, etc... It would really add a nice touch to the interior. -Better quality plastic. Every review comments on the poor plastic quality. It needs fixed. Now. -Cup holders. Could you put them in a worse place? Seriously, the only usable one while driving is on the passenger's side of the center console. -Better seats. They look flat and reviews say they are unsupportive. Idea: GTO seats ---> Solstice. -Crisper design. Not all new, just needs a bit of refinement. Nothing on the center stack has any flow. It's all just placed wherever... -More color choices. Usually I don't care, but... it needs more choices. All black, black/gray, black/beige, gray/beige, and a choice of black/exterior color would be great. Exterior: -Front fascia. It looks outdated and bulbous. The rounded silver grills, the large divided circular DRL/signal/fogs, the single element "that $15k car has more expensive looking" headlights... How about an edgier grill with black recessed honeycomb, smaller circles with just fogs, and multi-element headlights with projector beams, turn signals, and a black housing. That sounds much better... -Exhaust tips. Just one? Come on... its not an econocar, its a sports car. Two is a minimum. -Tighter fitting top. See those wrinkles... get rid of them. -Windsheil frame. I really don't like the silver. Either make it black or body-colored. -Top colors. Black... that's it? Need more, please. -Wheels. Although I like these wheels, I think there needs to be more styles. -Door handles. No chrome please... I hate chrome. Body colored... No ifs, ands, or buts about it. -Rear spoiler. Before you roll your eyes at me, listen. I do not like the placement of the 3rd brakelight. It's just there, not integrated by design. As others have said, a retracting spoiler would be nice. Have it so there is just a slight lip at the end of it and place the light on it. It would seriously look nice. -Taillights. They look plain, just like the headlights... (and the lights on just about every freaking GM vehicle. Stupid GM traits, I hate them) Either tint them or clear them with a black housing. As for the reverse lights, the removal of that red reflector is all that is needed. Other -Removable hardtop. I love the look of one. It could be for added integrity and better insulation. Although the fact that the trunk wouldn't be able to open with it on might prevent this... -Coupe. Make it look exactly like the concept and get it here. -Turbo GT/GXP/whatever model. Basically, do the changes listed above, but with subtle differences to tell it apart. For one, ground effects would be nice. As would bigger lipped spoiler, unique and bigger wheels, more front intakes, recaro seats, and so on... -Trim levels. As you know, I hate calling somthing "base". It's retarded and cheap. So, instead it should be SE with GT trims. The upcoming turbo would be GXP. :D

Oh... well no wonder I didn't see it, it's in the form of a link and I can't click on links... :P

Exactly.

No offense, but explain how the Malibu placed higher than the Camry in test by MT, which like most mags, is biased... By reading what you said, it doesn't seem possible. :huh:

I'd like to try to go on the same day as NOS and company, but someone has to tell me how much it'll cost, damnit. :P I have a very limited supply of money that mostly goes towards gas, so I need to know. Also, being that it's pretty far away, I'll need a place to stay. Meaning one I don't have to pay for. :D These are two things that will decide if I go... before my parent's have their say.

For once, I agree with Sixty8 and Razor...

Okay... That sounds much better. ^_^ BTW, what is this sketch that everyone is talking about. I must have missed it...

OC... I must question what you say about the interior colors. It's the same colors as seen in the pics. It was never black and I have never seen you complain. Even on the concept it was that way. Yet, you say it as if it did use to be black or such... but it hasn't. So, what are talking about? :blink: However, I will say that GM had better start putting better plastics in their vehicles. They said they would, but haven't. It's ridiculous considering that its one of the big reasons they lose out to others and get criticized. I mean, personally, I think freaking out over interior plastics is extremely retarded unless you plan on sleeping on your dash. After all that complaining, one better sleep on that dash for christ's sake.

Is that 98, I see?!?!? It's nice to see you post again... As GMCTG said, come back when you're ready, just come back. :D
