After closing out 2005 with brisker sales than the rest of the mid-size car segment, the Pontiac G6 family of vehicles is expected to continue its growth in the new year with a game-changing new entry - a G6 retractable hardtop convertible. With GM’s recently announced pricing strategies, the new G6 convertible will be offered at a price point far below vehicles with comparable features.

The addition of a coupe and two new engine options allowed the G6 to move from the 25 th to the 11 th best selling car in North America in 2005. Fourth quarter G6 sales were up 137 percent compared to 2004.

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 manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $28,490 (including destination charges), making it the first retractable hardtop available in North America for under $29,000.
