The LA Times did get a few things right, though. The G6 specs look good on paper, but the interior screams "GM CHEAP PLASTICS" and there is *no* connection between the driver and the road, as this article does note - the electric steering and throttle-by-wire are horribly tuned, have no feed back, and are extremely low-effort.
The one I drove also already had interior rattles at *60* miles on the clock. And I'm already hearing that that panoramic multi-panel roof can leak badly when it rains.
Yet another pile of junk from GM.
I have no doubt that this car has some issues, but I think the real concern is that GM wasn't even getting a fair shake compared to other makes. It would be one thing if all manufacturers were roundly trashed, but from this article, it appears that the GM bashing was somewhat selective.
The coupe looks like an Accord couple...
Only without a double-wishbone suspension all around.
Only without a Honda engine.
Only without the luxury interiors that all mid-size Japanese cars come with these days.
Only without resale value.
