Other Choices:

The new Chevrolet Malibu--also from GM--has a more contemporary and comfortable interior, along with improved powertrain refinement, while not costing much more than the G6. Otherwise, the 2008 Pontiac G6 doesn't compete with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, so much as it does against the Ford Fusion and Nissan Altima. Next to the G6, the Fusion feels sportier, with its crisp, direct steering and responsive engines, but the G6 has a more spacious backseat than either the Fusion or Altima. The Altima stands out for its simple but very tasteful interior design and nice materials. The Avenger could also be considered an alternative to the G6; the Dodge has a reasonably roomy interior, but its base four-cylinder engine is especially loud and coarse, and its interior appointments have a bargain-basement feel.

    The G6

    The G6 is a nice step up to pontiacs line up but since am a car lover & i go crazy to every single detail in a vechile i noticed that the coolant resourvoir is right on top of the speed sensor of the transmission so when it over flows the water goes directly to the sensor & i dont understand how that designed happend but other than that.....the G6 is an overall nice equipped vechile
