A hardtop convertible G6

Overview Information

The Pontiac G6 convertible is a truly unique offering. This mid-sized coupe is built on the same front-wheel-drive platform as the G6 sedan. The GT is powered by a 200hp 3.4L V6. An optional sport package features a 3.9L V6 that produces 240hp and 245 lb-ft of torque. A four-speed automatic is the only available transmission on the convertible. The retractable hardtop is fully automatic and stows away under a double-hinged trunk lid in about 30 seconds. The retractable hardtop promises a quieter ride with more comfort in inclimate weather. It is the only such hardtop convertible offered at this price point, but many potential competitors are headed to market.
