Any way I can one for my G6? I can't register on MyGMLink because I'm in Canada, and there's no Canadian version. I want to get it so I can familiarize myself with the car before I pick it up. I need a fairly long trip right off the bat when I pick it up (Toronto -> Waterloo).

There's a Pontiac salesman that lives down the street, he was telling me that you can order a coupe w/a 4 beginning in '06.... I don't have proof, tho...Pontiac site says otherwise of course. [post="48949"][/post] I wouldn't trust dealers. Last time the dealer told me I can order a 4-cylinder with a 5-speed stick. Got me excited for a minute... but you know the deal. He came back to me and it was a mistake. It's like everytime I talk to a dealer the salesperson is always flipping the brochure in front of me.

What's your experience? I'm not talking about brochures and stuff, I mean real stuff like floormats and other accessories, of course when buying a car. I don't seem to have luck with that...

What a disgrace... he has Ontario plates... Making us look bad... :lol:

You can?? The coupe's GT and GTP only isn't it?

http://www.pontiac.com/g6sedan/specs_exterior.jsp No, they don't. All come standard with "Mirrors, outside rearview, power, stain Black finish"

Came across this: http://www.off-road.com/toyota/buick_v6_swap.html Interesting how a 3800 can be mated to a Toyota truck.

OK, reality check. The 2.8L is built at St. Catharines, and that plant's closing. Where would you expect to get enough engines from, given that most of them go into CTSes already? In short: Pontiac won't get that engine.

Walking to school yesterday, saw someone in a late model 240SX circling the streets drifting.

http://www.gmcanada.com/english/vehicles/pontiac/gpg6/ Look closely at the G6 sedan on the front. When did it get body coloured mirrors?? I so want them on mine!!!

Having the Supercharged under the hood sort of defeats the purpose in the first place. A 4-cylinder version should be the economical alternative, but the supercharged isn't. I guess the 2.4L will just need some time to prove itself before some people will change its mind. And yes, the 4-cylinder is dying for better transmissions.

And this will be the Holden Vectra?

OK, this seems to explain it. http://media.gm.com/us/powertrain/en/produ...20%28LZ9%29.pdf The 3.9L in the Convertible is tuned for peak torque at 3000, whereas the others are 4000+. It seems that Pontiac applications are always tuned for low end torque.

Not just that, the crash ratings are subpar compared to its cousin.

Honda VTEC? They use i-VTEC now so the 5th cam is gone? I don't know. Just an uneducated guess. I ain't no mechanic :P

Nice... are they calling it a Sonnett as well?

Haven't picked up my car yet, so I couldn't comment at the moment. But I did drive a GT with a 3.5L, it's a bit too much power for me. I generally don't like cars that have too much power, but not pigs as well. It's not like I'm racing the car or doing donuts, but I still want it to go up hills with no problems.

No, not a race... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1...606903&q=Impala

3900 LZ8/9 3.9L V6? Random guess... :P

Well since there's no Pursuit down south, that makes the G6 coupe to be the smallest coupe that Pontiac has. Should they make a 4-cylinder version instead of just the GT and GTP until a new coupe arrives? I myself is all for a 4-cylinder G6 :D

Happy Birthday, Fly!

So now Lexus wants a share of the pony car market...

So that means there's a hack to enable it? :D

Well yeah, should have made myself clearer. One said there is (LZ8) and the other one said coming (LZ9). So in a sense both of them at the end will be the same engines, so I got confused.

I saw two RPO codes for that engine on Wikipedia, LZ8 and LZ9. Both of them have VVT and DOD, according to that. What are the differences then?
