Model history

The model is based on the Epsilon platform from General Motors , which also forms the basis for the Chevrolet Malibu , the Saab 9-3 and the Opel Vectra . Like this one, the G6 has front-wheel drive .

The engines available were a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (172 hp), a 3.5-liter V6 (203 hp) and a 3.9-liter V6 (243 hp). For the 2006 model year, the previous 3.5-liter engine was replaced by a new design of the same size that developed 225 hp. From 2007 a 3.6-liter V6 derived from the 3.9-liter was available. The gearshift takes place either via a 4-speed automatic, a 6-speed automatic with autostick function (manual shift mode) or a manual 6-speed gearshift. The vehicle was built in Lake Orion , Michigan ( USA ).
