They must have taken an early retirement and Pontiac ended up hiring a bunch of scabs. IMO, most transverse engines don't have true dual exhuasts anyways. There is only one pipe from front to back. Lets see, on a v6 there is a right and left side exhaust manifold depending on which way you face the engine or you could say a front and back if you want to get technical. In standard cars they run 2 pipes leadig into 1 pipe. On the gt/performance cars they go fron 2 into 1 pipe then back into 2 pipes with dual outlets unless you are running a true dual exhaust. Who wants an American performance car with single exhaust? |

I saw th G6 at the L.A. car show and on ponitacs website months before that. It had a 285hp v6 and AWD, also dual exhaust like the Grand prix. I was in the market for a car. So I waited to see what would come out. The closer it got to release, the lamer it got. After four months I gave up on it. I ended up getting a '04 Subaru WRX wagon. I'm very happy with my choice. 227 hp turbo 4cyl w/ awd. I goes 0-60mph in less then 6 sec. handles like it's on rails , gets in the in the mid 20's mpg with "spirted" driving all for $22,500. I still love my '64 Grand Prix w/ Tri-power and my '56 Ford F100 w/ Chevy 327. But thesse new cars sure are great. |
able to get the personality of a big cube v8 out of a 4 or 6 cyl yet.

"I ended up getting a '04 Subaru WRX wagon." To each his own. I am out on the foreign cars. " I believe we have far surpassed the point where we are buying extremely to many foreign autos." I did'nt understand this line. Not to mention, especially the Subaru is extremely lame looking in my opinion. The G6 is a far better looking automobile. |

When I get the cobb ECU upgrade for $550. The power jumps to 260 hp and 260 lbs-ft. 0-60 drops to the low 5's hi 4 seconds and 1/4 mi drops to the mid to hi 13 sec. I still love my '64 Grand Prix and my '56 Ford PU. But for the price no car can match the WRX performance.

balanced. You can call a Subaru an American car but its not. You can put a
dollar in an account every day, & say your saving money. But if you are
spending $3.00, your going broke. Profit, which is the majority of the cost
of any vehicle doesn't stay here except for the dealerships profit,
possibly. Save a dollar today! Look at the steel industry. Buy up most all
of American steel(scrap), sell it cheap, put most American companies out of
business. At this point you have cornered the market. Now raise the price
by 300%. The American steel manufacturers which are left cannot supply the
demand. Now Americans have to pay 300% or do without.
