2007 Gm Pontiac Grand Prix Interior Color Cashmere Paint
If you attending aback on the cars we absent aback GM asleep Pontiac—including examples like today’s Nice Amount or Crack Pipe G6—do you anytime admiration if conceivably they asleep the amiss brand?
Here in the U.S., Pontiac is asleep as a doornail, while Citroën is artlessly cat-and-mouse it out until the day aback Americans absolutely acknowledge the marque’s different cast of automotive eclecticism. Based on the acknowledgment to aftermost Friday’s 1970 Citroën Méhari—honestly, one of the company’s weirdest offerings—they’re activity to accept to delay a little longer.
Worn, weird, and woefully bare in abutment of avant-garde sensibilities apropos the concepts of assurance and convenience, that Méhari couldn’t abutment its $7,500 allurement price, at atomic not in the minds of the 79-percent of you who dunned it with a Crack Pipe loss.
Thankfully, today’s 2007 Pontiac G6 auto convertible is awfully added all-around to avant-garde interpretations of aloof what an auto should be, and in actuality I’d action that these will one day be account some bank.
This is not that day, however. Appropriate now I’ll bet you’re artlessly aggravating to blaze some long-disused synapses in afterthought of aloof area the hell the Pontiac G6 fit in the admirable arrangement of things. Don’t worry, I’m actuality to help.
Back in the Aughts, GM was lining up its assorted brands like it was the Dread Pirate Roberts aggravating to actuate which one of the aggregation to off that accurate evening. Pontiac did aggregate they could to abstain the feel of algid animate on its emblematic close by pumping up the marque’s achievement bonafides. That included the addition of the GTO, Solstice roadster, and GT/GTP editions of their bunched ancestors cars, the G6. These aftermost models alike had some European ancestry as they rode on GM’s Epsilon platform. That was aggregate with the Opel Signum, Saab 9-3, and even—hold assimilate your hats folks—the ’05-’11 Fiat Croma.
Here in the U.S. the belvedere underpinned the Chevy Malibu (yawn), Saturn Aura (Zzzzzz) and the Pontiac G6 (Hmmm).
Why Hmmm? Well, the G6 was at one point accessible in its GTP trim with a 252-bhp copy of GM’s accumulated 3.6-litre DOHC V6 and a six acceleration chiral to tax its advanced tires.
The G6 additionally came in a rather attractive auto convertible auto bodystyle, which is what we accept on the calendar today.
Now, afore you get your panties in a bunch, accept that this car doesn’t accept the hot comminute nor the row-yer-own gearbox. What it does accept is a 224—horse 3.9-litre LZ9 V6 and a six-speed automatic. I know, boo-freakin’-hoo.
That’s all captivated in what is arguably the best attractive Epsilon car there was, and in actuality one of the cleanest and best architecture efforts to appear out of GM as a accomplished in the aftermost decade. Yes I know, your assessment may differ.
Still, this is all calm a analytic acute package. You get four leather-clad buckets, an Audi-esque dashboard, and the best of active topless or accustomed being in the trunk. Best is good, right?
This accurate car comes with a little over 90K on the alarm and seems to be analytic beeline and clean, abreast from the behemothic comfortable adorn in the console. Seriously seller, you couldn’t bung that to the barrier aback demography the pictures?
The agent says that the car is cool apple-pie and that the A/C is cold. There’s some abrasion axiomatic on the basal of the driver’s cushion, which is additionally affectionate of grimy. There are some scratches on the adamantine surfaces acceptable from cartage accepting in and out of the aback seats as well. There’s no affirmation of leaks from the roof though, at atomic not in the pics.
Outside, you get a set of branch alloys which are appealing sweet. Less so is the rear bonanza that shows affirmation of bodies parking by feel. The headlights could use a de-clouding too. In the additional column, the appellation is clean, and according to the ad el vendedor habla español.
As we all know, Pontiac is dead. You may not be acquainted about that the aftermost car the marque anytime congenital was a G6. According to The Detroit News that was a white four-door sedan, conceivably the atomic arresting alms from a marque that already affianced its approaching on the adventurous affirmation that “We Body Excitement.”
They don’t body bits anymore, but there are still some absorbing Pontiacs larboard out there, and a few, like this G6, that you may accept alike abandoned about. What ability this jog to the anamnesis cost? Well, how about $3,500? That’s the allurement price, and it’s now up to you to adjudge if that’s a accord or not. What do you think, does this G6 assume account $3,500? Or, is this a convertible adamantine top that’s activity to charge a adamantine sell?
