The 2008 Pontiac G6 Sedan represents one of several body styles available in the lineup, which also includes coupes and convertibles. The sedan, however, is arguably the wiser choice, delivering more value and functionality than its sister models. This 4-door sedan shares the same basic design as the Chevrolet Malibu, Saturn Aura and Saab 9-3 and is available in 4 price leading trims-the Value Leader, Base, GT and the sporty new GXP. For the 2008 model year, the GXP trim is added to the lineup, while anti-lock brakes, traction control, side impact airbags and Onstar are added to the standard equipment list for all versions of the G6.

The Value Leader and Base G6 Sedans have a 164 horsepower, 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine and a 4 speed automatic transmission. The GT Sedan is powered by a 3.5 liter V6 engine rated at 219 horsepower with a 4 speed automatic transmission, while the performance oriented GXP comes equipped with a potent 252 horsepower, 3.6 liter V6 mated to a 6 speed automatic. Both engines provide ample power and the automatic transmissions downshift readily for impressive acceleration when passing. Using regular grade fuel, sedans equipped with the 3.5 V6 average about 22 miles per gallon.

The Value Leader GT Sedan is very well equipped and comes standard with many safety features including a full array of airbags, traction control, anti-lock brakes and an anti-skid system. Also included are 16 inch wheels, daytime running lights, air conditioning, Onstar, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, split folding rear seat, full power accessories and an AM/FM/CD stereo system. The Base Sedan replaces the 16-inch wheels with 17-inch wheels and adds cruise control and remote keyless entry. The GT Sedan adds a leather wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio system controls, an upgraded sound system with in dash CD changer and satellite radio; fog lights and a sport tuned suspension. In addition to the most powerful engine in the lineup, the GXP features heated front seats, automatic climate control and a power adjustable driver seat.

Although the 2008 Pontiac G6 Sedan lacks some of the well tuned feel and the exceptionally quiet cabin of some of the other midsize sedans on the market today, however the much sleeker looking G6 Sedan does undercut them on price while still providing a safe and very comfortable ride as well as an almost thrilling driving experience.
