July 25, 200619 yr So I found it weird that the G5 was on the consumer Pontiac site but not on the press site. It turns out pontiac just used the August 1 embargo date on the G5 because that was the date for other GM embargos. Although the 2007 Cadillac SRX also got moved up from the Aug 1 date. That leaves the silverado. Anyway for more on the G5 check out http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2006/07..._coup.html#more
July 25, 200619 yr Hey, they changed the steering wheel! The 06 G5 Pursuit has the Cobalt wheel, I hope this wheel comes to Canada. Edited July 25, 200619 yr by Cremazie
July 25, 200619 yr All Pursuits gets renamed G5 for 2007. Pursuit name is dropped completely, and gets the "new" steering wheel. I've seen a base sedan from Avis.
July 25, 200619 yr Why no high-performance G5. Take that badboy, put in the 260HP turbocharged ecotec from the Solstice and Sky's, and sell it for like 22, 23k. It'd be awesome.

It'd be awesome. we will probably see a GXP G5 for 2008.. ive heard the delta platform cars are getting a minor facelift and a upgraded interior for eiether the 2008 or 2009 model year.. id like to see a GXP G5 with the turbo ecotec from the Sky.. with 260 hp it could finaly challenge some of the higher end imports..
July 29, 200619 yr Why oh why do they always have to cheap out on pictures???!!! Don't they just get that advertising is the first impression to customers?? They got the right radio in the first one, then destroyed it with the picture in which clearly is either a 2006 Pursuit or a Cobalt!
July 29, 200619 yr Funny thng is I really like it a lot. I wonder if it has the big gap where the head lights meet the fender like the Cobalt if not I may look at one because I really want an auto now. Plus I love those rims. Edited July 29, 200619 yr by rueben44

July 29, 200619 yr I'm not so sure that steering wheel goes well in the cobalt like the original one did.
July 29, 200619 yr this is teh bull$h! they shoulda just made the cobalt rear drive and have a v8 and let pontiac have the shizzbox people who byu these cars are dumb

July 30, 200619 yr ... Dude, did knowitall send you or something? 173050[/snapback] Hey, I didn't know Josh's Solstice had steel alloy wheels! 173122[/snapback] who int he hell is josh nad knoitall?! u idiots think im some dumbsh!t?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm notg just so u knopw! my parents are effing loaded so i can afford to roll in style unlike u morons. i got scraps i got th e bling and u two aint got nothin i'm jesus
July 30, 200619 yr Oh man... I love the photochopped iPod, too. But what I really do love is the faux-carbon fiber trim that appears to be molded differently from the faux-aluminum in the Cobalt. At least they changed something other than the grille!

Cut the $h! or get off these boards. At another forum, members do this: *reported* Which you officially are.

If your parents are so "loaded" they should invest in a tutor.
July 30, 200619 yr This kind of response reminds me of this: http://www.riceboypage.com/response/072999.html Read the first letter. These morons ought to shut up and get a life. Edited July 30, 200619 yr by ToniCipriani
July 30, 200619 yr Oh, BTW, the pic of the iPod, I think it's more of a 3D rendering than a photochop. Look at the audio cable.
July 30, 200619 yr Oh, BTW, the pic of the iPod, I think it's more of a 3D rendering than a photochop. Look at the audio cable. 173193[/snapback] Yeah, I believe the entire image is a 3D render
July 30, 200619 yr I saw a G5 today.... The sedan rear looks good on the coupe, almost better than that of the Cobalt coupe. The front, however, looks cheap and blatant. I didn't care for it too much, but it's NOT a bad car I guess.
July 30, 200619 yr I've seen three G5's (Pursuits) and each one was piloted by fat, loud college girls on cell phones... ... ...G5's appeal to the same demographic as Jetta drivers?!
August 3, 200619 yr Well, Car & Driver said the driving experience of the Cobalt is much like that if the Mk IV Jetta. What the Pursuit could really use is an all-new front end, and totally different interior (designed more like, oh, say, the G6?) and the high-performance version.
