Passionately. Fervently. The sight of it makes my hair stand on end and the mere thought of it halts my train of thought and throws me into ARGHGHGHGHGH MODE 9001!

What car, you may (or may not) be asking yourself, could cause such fury?

Is it a hybrid?

Is it an abomination of Continuously Variable Terribleness?

Does it drink lots of corn?

Is it electric, or otherwise "alternatively powered"?

Does it drive itself?

Does it park itself?

Is it a rolling collusion of driver-defeating electronannies?


The answer to all of these questions is: "Nope."


It's much more simple, and much more PURELY TERRIBLE than that.


Pointless dramatically-prolonging sentence.


It is the Pontiac G6 GXP.

LOOK AT THIS ABOMINATION.

It is the most terrible kind of evil. One of those "things of that extreme evil which seem innocent to the uninitiate." Both subtly, creepingly sinister and overtly monstrous. It will steal your children in the night, run away with your wife, and show up at your desk dressed like you, sending inappropriate emails to your boss.

Look at the size of that SMEGGING SPOILER. There's only one thing in the entire universe that could be worse than the stock G6 coupe's Avalon-wannabe formless droopy a**, and that wing IS IT.
Look at that hood. GIGANTIC SQUARE NONFUNCTIONAL HOODSCOOPS. They're not even attractive, like the ones Toyota glued on their midsize trucks for a while. They look like s***.
Look at the 17 hectares of empty sheetmetal behind the door and in front of the rear wheel arch. And while you're at it, look at whatever the HELL that is that's going on with the rocker trim ON the rear wheel arch.
Look at that gigantic, featureless swath of weirdly-squared rubber that is the rear bumper.

This car is GENUINELY TERRIBLE.

My brain refuses to even attempt to imagine the kind of person who might actually CHOOSE TO PAY MONEY for one of these disgusting perversions of automotion.

I HATE this car.

I too agree with you sir.

The massive wing
Non functional hood scoop
Disproportionate body styling.

Thank God the only time I have ever seen a G6 GXP it was in front of the Pontiac dealer. Over time I learned to overt my eyes to prevent dry heaving.
Luckily for you Pontiac is as extinct as the dinosaurs and will no longer Produce such abominations. I remember in college there was a D-bag with a G6 coupe, lowered, eyelids, radar, tinted tails. He thought that thing was the best. Actually come to think about it he was about as ugly and disproportionate as his car.

What are your feelings about the G8 GXP? I dig those.

I love the G8. The GXP is ideal, GT is not bad either (but auto-only). Even the V6 base model was a great car...but why get that when you can get an 8?

I'm hoping that GM will eventually wake up and start selling the Caprice to the public. The Caprice is a very light rebadge of the same Holden that the G8 was based on.

I agree, that thing is pretty hideous. But dude, chill hahaha.

I freaking love the G8. Let me put a picture in here to ease some of the hideousness away:

I saw one of these on the road the other day with the license plate "XTINCT"

Thought that was pretty awesome

Calling that thing a turd is an extreme insult to extruded deposits of fecal discharge everywhere.

But it's still nowhere as evil as the G6 GXP.

I totally agree, it's such a gawdy design, they oughta discontinue the entire frigging brand!!!! Oh wait! :biggrin:

You can definitely see the resemblance to the Aztec, especially in the front, which hints the same idio....er...designers might have contributed to this car.

:eek:

They almost made that quarter glass piss me off. It would have pissed me off if they made it more similar to the S30's quarter glass.

Here is a story about the G6 GXP.

Pontiac Design Supervisor: "Guys, we need something that drives excitement. A premium brand that engages all of our enthusiasts."

Pontiac Designer Lackey: "I have an idea, boss, why don't we build a new version of the GTO?"

PDS: "Sadly, Lackey, we're on a budget and we must answer to upper level management at GM."

PDL: "Ok boss, I've got just the thing."

*PDL proceeds to dial 1-800-JCWHITNEY*

PDL: "Hello, I would like to proceed with a bulk order. I need one of EVERYTHING you sell for the Pontiac G6."

PDL returns to PDS's office in a week, presents prototype.

"PRINT IT, SHIP IT." says PDS.

A year later, Pontiac goes bankrupt. All 12 G6 GXP drivers in the continental United States are stunned beyond belief.

This has been an excerpt from the biography "Pontiac: The Plastic Sinking Ship", available for digital download and wherever bookstores are sold. Also available will be a special edition "Pontiac: The Plastic Sinking Ship - The GXP Edition" which will come packaged in a limited edition plastic hardcover featuring a chrome waffle grille that houses an individually numbered leaky valve seal from a G6 GXP.

Bravo.

Coming soon from this author: "Plastic Sinking Ship Part Two: Saturn" and "Mercury: Revenge of the Chrome."
