Among the vehicles I was shopping, the G6 payment was higher, and the current generation was a couple years older than the alternatives.
Interior louder than the competitive vehicles I shopped.
I drove the 3.5L V6 which is very unrefined and coarse, also loud under acceleration.
Pontiac seems to have a more downscale image, compared to other brands in the price range.
The V6 I drove had MPG ratings slightly worse than the 4-cyl models I was looking at.
