PONTIAC G6 Convertible 2006-2008 Photos, engines & full specs

The G6 convertible entered the market in 2006, the same year that also brought the G6 coupe.

The convertible G6 was still suited for family duty, however, the most notable aspect was the retractable hardtop that took under 30 seconds to open or close, everything done with the touch of a button.

While in 2004 the sedan version was completely restyled, including the new G6 nameplate, it was rather a low seller due to multiples issues it encountered. Somehow, Pontiac needed to work hard to get people’s attention with a new version, be it coupe or convertible.

The convertible was available in two trim levels, the GT or the GTP.

The standard engine that equipped the coupe was a GM powerplant of 3.9-liters, V6, that developed 240 hp and 241 pound-feet of torque.

The engine was mated with a 4-speed automatic transmission, however, no additional cost was required to choose a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The G6 could reach 100 kph in less than 7 seconds and that went together with its already sporty look. The sport suspension the G6 was equipped with made the coupe easy to handle.

The coupe could accommodate 4 people, with the 2+2 seat configuration. Looking from the outside, the space in the back would look cramped, however, inside, the rear passengers could actually enjoy a longer comfortable ride.

With the optional leather package, the cabin was fitted with two-tone leather upholstery, with great fit and finish of the materials throughout the cabin.
