What do you like about 2008 Pontiac G6?
Sleek exterior design sets this car apart from many other midsize cars. The lines are surprisingly simple, especially coming from Pontiac. The car handles decently, and acceleration feels as if more horses are under the hood. Most of the driver's controls are easy to reach, and seats are comfortable enough for short day trips.

How would you improve 2008 Pontiac G6?
Two main factors prevent G6 from winning Camry or Accord buyers over. First, interior plastic needs significant improvement. Simply put, G6 feels cheap when you sit in it. A car is a product that drivers touch and feel everyday, and Pontiac failed miserably on areas where the car owners will experience their cars constantly. Pontiac designers need to compare G6 with Camry side by side and make G6's interior better. Second, gas mileage was significantly below expectation. It is difficult to believe that anybody can drive G6 to get over 30 miles per gallon. Maybe on a downhill driving with gear in neutral might be the only way.

2008 Pontiac G6 Review:
G6 is a reasonably good effort from Pontiac, and the car's clean exterior look shows their effort. But they still have far to go in order to win over Camry or Accord buyers. Pontiac designers and engineers have to understand that their cars have to be better than their competitors' in order to win market share. Other than the exterior execution, G6 lacks in almost everything else. It is not a bad car by any means, but we are not in the 80's anymore. Quality of cars have significantly improved since then, but Pontiac's interior and performance have not, especially compared to its competitors.
