Restated. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the Cobalt/Pursuit had steering/shifter/brake feel that's just shy of sporty.

I used the "Build your Pursuit" website feature... added every option and the sticker came out to $27,000 ... who would pay that?!?!?!? :P :roll:

With this addition, the G6, and the possible demise of the Bonneville... what direction is Pontiac trying to go? :?:
