In 2. 00. 6, the G6 added two new trim levels and two new bodystyles, a coupe and a retractable hard top convertible. The new trim levels were a new base four- cylinder trim (sometimes referred to as "SE"), and the high performance "GTP".
Coupes and convertibles were available in GT and GTP trims only. The new base model used a 1. L DOHC inline- 4, mated to a four- speed automatic transmission. The 3. 5 L V6 was now part of a sport- package on the base/SE, and remained standard on the GT. The new GTP used a 3.

One couple had to sell their G6s because they learned of tax implications that came with owning the car, while another kept hers even though her two friends who came with her to the taping no longer have theirs (one was sold, another was totaled in an accident) and hopes to give the G6 to her daughter in time for college, saying "I'm hoping to drive it until we can't drive it any more."[8]Motorsports[edit]The G6 was used in the GT class of Rolex Sports Car Series as a replacement for the Pontiac GTO.
