G6 GTP
Well, I was looking at cars for when I get out of school, and I was looking at the new G6 GTP on Pontiac'* website. I was interested in this car until I saw the gas milage ratings:
18 City
24 Highway
How can the milage be that bad on this car? I understand that it'* the "high output" G6, but c'mon, thats LS2 powered GTO territory...

One reason is that it weighs more than a 92-99 bonneville.
Second it is not a 3.9l, not the 3.5. GM should have just gone with the Series III L67. I dont understand their reasoning at all there.

You guys are all misinformed. A 3800 is HEAVY. LS1'* are lighter. That'* why GM is getting away from them. it'* a 3.9L VVT, 240 HP and something torque lol. I bet the highway milage will ROCK with the new transmission. I'll take it over any bonne any day.
