So the Pontiac has a retractable hardtop? I think that will become more and more the norm for convertibles. The advantages over a soft top are many.

BoCo 01-09-2005 08:39 AM

Oh, man! That G6 has "fem-car" written all over it. Tail lights look like they're stolen from a Toyota.

The Mustang look sorta decent, but not nearly as good as the hard top model.

cj2112 01-09-2005 09:14 AM

I said it in the Impala/Monte Carlo thread.....when did GM contract w/ Toyota to design cars for them? that is seriously what their new body styles look like.

Tech 01-09-2005 12:59 PM

i like the G6, yeah it looks kinda like the solara, but i like the looks of the solara too (like the G6 more) but FWD!!!!! when will GM learn?!? :(

1slOwCD8 01-09-2005 02:33 PM

The Mustangs awesome as usual, but the G6 looks funny for some reason. Maybe cuz the front end is so big, and the body looks smashed or something.

maverick750 01-09-2005 03:20 PM

I really like the looks of the Mustang convert. The Grand prix just doesnt look right at all, i think they should have made a convert, but used the current body style for it.

laconic1 01-09-2005 03:57 PM

Taillights on the G6 coupe definitely look like they were stolen right off the Toyota Solara.

You got a really good point...now that I looked at side by side pics they do look like Toyotas:eek::eek:

The drop-top 'Stang really loses a lot of that 60's look. I would like to have seen a targa option.

todd 01-13-2005 03:12 PM

The Mustang GT looks really nice as a convertible.

But the GTP, in my opinion, looks not so hot.

irseg 01-13-2005 04:33 PM

On one hand it's nice to see Pontiac isn't junking up their cars with plastic cladding and superfluous hood scoops, but I think they swung a bit too far in the opposite direction.

That would be awesome, Porsche would probably get mad though.
(You mean full retractible glass roof, right? Not T-top? Either would look great.)

Ditto....
Excellent convertible job on the Mustang. Looks as good or better than the coupe imo.

Anyone with testicles should stay away from the G6. It's not for us. :p

Wingless 01-14-2005 09:05 AM

Seriously... GM has to stop contracting Toyota! The GTP looks 90% like the Solara!

FWD? Get with the times GM. It's the new Hot Rod era!

Joo got it mang.

archer2371 01-17-2005 05:48 PM

Is it just me, or is Ford the only company coming up with more original designs. (By more original, not making their cars look like everyone else's).

So true about the G6, all the commericals have chicks driving them...its a chick car!

desal75 01-20-2005 12:27 PM

GM has to learn to engineer excitment into the chassis instead of trying to design it into the body. How can a company that makes such a perfect car in the Corvette get so much wrong in the rest of their line. The Cobalt is no exception either. They do have those gigantic incentive programs to help them move product but it can't be helping the bottom line.

LLL2 01-20-2005 12:36 PM

I always hate those convertibles with those black tops to it.Wish someone would come up with an better design.

punx1325 01-20-2005 12:49 PM

My roommate has the new GT and my favorite part of the car is the cabin. I just like how the car slopes in the back. I would never get the convertable.

They've been working together since the 80s with the NUMMI plant in Northern CA. They have collaborated on many vehicles from the Corolla/Nova to the Matrix/Vibe.

This particular car looks like it is based from the Solara or even the Lexus SC convertible.

pinoychink790 01-20-2005 10:49 PM

i don't know, but that car looks really cool. One day i'm going to drive a car like that. it's gonna be awesome.

HeLLVieW96 01-25-2005 09:14 PM

i work at Ford here where i live, huge dealership, and part of the job i get to play in the new mustangs, theyre pretty nice, and the convertible looks really good.

sucks for the people i work for though, i Drive two Chevrolet Monte Carlo's :)

GetRdone 01-25-2005 09:17 PM

the rear end on that mustang seems odd, almost like its out of place. When i thinkg mustangs, i think the only ones i liked.. The older ones, with hard lines and an aggressive shape.

WS6_KID 01-26-2005 02:11 PM

I;d go with the Ponitac due to hard top convertable

Scorps 01-26-2005 02:28 PM

Steve McQueen asks where do you put the baby seat in the G6?
