Gear6

General Motors announced that the Pontiac G6 Convertible will become a reality in the spring of 2006. GM stated in their offical press release that the reason for the production of the G6 convertible was due to the success of the G6 in 2005.

The growth of the G6 continues to buck industry trends for mid-size cars and sets the pace for Pontiac as our top-selling vehicle, says Mark-Hans Richer, Pontiac marketing director. With overall mid-size car sales down in the second half of 2005, the G6 actually increased sales and we expect to continue that trend into 2006.

This spring, the G6 family will be complete with the addition of the G6 retractable hardtop convertible, the first vehicle to offer this feature in the mid-size car segment. In addition to having the largest retractable hardtop on any four-passenger coupe, the G6 convertible will carry a manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) of $28,490 (including destination charges), making it the first retractable hardtop available in North America for under $29,000.
