So what car it is replacing? Grand Prix or the Bonn?

It is a little bigger that the GP yet so is the Bonn. The GP just got a totally new design.

Anyone know? have a guess?

LMFAO!!! ooops I found the answer -- It is replacing the Grand Am...

You can read about it here...

I like that new G6, nice refreshing break from the Grand Am. Never a big fan of those....

Looks like a baby GP. And I bet that the 240hp version will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of the GTO lets see 30k for the G6 or 32k for a 350hp GTO?????? What a no brainer.

Yea I do not understand the concept that Pontiac is doing here...

G6
GP
Bonny

All pretty damn close to the same car!?!?!?!

Although if I did not get the snow here in MD I would have a 350HP GTO and not a 260HP GP.

But Pontiac has also set up their lineup nicely. If you want a Pontiac, you get a choice of an economical G6, a sportier Grand Prix, a more high-end Bonnie, or a sports coupe GTO. You get those options and you still retain the Pontiac stylings and feel to the car. However, if you don't like that styling or feel, you and Pontiac are shit out of luck.

It's essentially what Mazda and Nissan are in the process of doing.

I saw somewhere i thought that the G6 was going to be in the same pricing spectrum of the current grand am. Which when i was looking was 25 fully decked. But one may never know until the man tells us. I,myself cannot and would not pay 30 for this car when i can get a gtp that is way more capable. anyone else agree?

Although the 6 spd manny tranny <----???? that it comes with would help put the down a lil easier

This would make a little more sense and people would prob grab em left and right if GM would price the cars as so (models reflect highest trim level available)

G6= 21k
GP= 27K
Bonnie=28k
GTO=29k

You'll hopefully see the GTO price drop down closer to $32k (where the WS6 was) or they'll be cancelled altogether.

The base of the car is only 32455? would 500 dollars really cause a car just to be cancelled. they are selling just as fast as they come in here where i live. i like hercmans pricing schedule. but its pretty close to that if you toss in the rebates. when i bought mine i had 2500 in rebates then they had 750 in option savings then the dealer had an additional 750 for dealer savings. so if you take a loaded gtp and toss all that in its at 27k. thats if you get the rebates.

Car pricing really just pisses me off. I understand business owners have mark ups and they have overhead, employees and the such...but man until I married my wife buying a car was a pain in the @@@.
Now I married in to a GM family and I get GMS pricing. For those who do not know it is a family purchase plan for GM employees and imediate family. I pay WAYYYY less than sticker for a car (actually less than invoice) and then take the rebates on top of that. But the dealer told me NO way was I getting GMS this year on a GTO and maybe not next year either. But a 30-32K high performance sports car does not seem unreasonable to me.

sweet deal!

A friend of mine just purchased a GTO through GMS. The dealer told him the same thing, but they called Pontiac. Pontiac apparently called the dealer and straightened him out.

I only say that because they are not selling around the Massachusetts area. I've yet to see one on the road.

Here as well the one dealership that has a GTO for sale hasn't sold it yet. It's been in the showroom since they went on the market. Everyone looks at the price the small size the heavy weight and walk away. Now the Silverado SS on the other hand is selling like hot cakes. Go Figuire. As for cars selling for the prices I listed above why not make those the sticker and take the rebates from there. Also you know the vehicles are way over priced when you look at GMs website and build your self a Crewcab Z71 1500 and it comes out to bout 38k and then you look in the paper and see a GM dealership selling the same truck for 24k!!! Advertised no less. Sticker shock keeps most buyers from even going to the car lot.
