Pictures of my new Pontiac G5 GT!!!

**Warbird** · 10-25-2006, 09:21 AM

I just picked up my new black/ebony leather G5 GT on Monday night. It's the sister car to the Chevy Cobalt SS [non-supercharged model]. I got it fully loaded for just a hair over $22k out the door. I got the heated leather seats, sunroof, Pioneer 7-speaker stereo, 6-disc in-dash cd-player, side curtain airbags, and the remote start. I love this car, it's leaps and bounds beyond the Sunfire/Cavalier it replaced. It drives really smooth and has good power with the 2.4 Ecotec. I can easily pass on the highways, and merge in traffic. It handle really good, and takes bumps and potholes no problem. Gives great space in the cockpit, I even had to move my seat up. Lots of trunk space. All around great car, and I'm glad I got it over any other car in it's price/power range. And I'm loving the free 3-months of XM radio.

Now for the pictures. Excuse the mess, it rained and snowed for the past couple of days here in Ohio.

Don't worry, I still got my Formy.

Congrats!! That's actually a pretty good lookin car...what's the mpg on that thing? It has the same engine as the n/a cobolt SS?

congrats! are those 4 speed autos?

**Warbird** · 10-25-2006, 09:56 AM

Auto and manual are both rated at 25mpg city/32mpg highway. Mine has the optional 4-speed auto, but the 5-speed is standard. Yes, it has the same 173hp/163tq 2.4l Ecotec as the n/a Cobalt SS.

What's the difference between a G5 and a G6?

**StangKiller615** · 10-25-2006, 11:44 AM

Thats sharp! Not to change the subject or anything, but aren't they putting the LS2 in the new Grand Prix?

**Warbird** · 10-25-2006, 11:55 AM

G5=Compact car: Cobalt
G6=Mid-sized car: Malibu

He got a 7 speaker Pioneer sound system and I got the bullshit Monsoon.

**99blueZ** · 10-25-2006, 12:35 PM

nice looking car. I think it would look sweet with some headlight blackouts.

**Warbird** · 10-25-2006, 01:20 PM

They already have black projector/halo headlights on ebay. But there are mixed reviews on good they are on the cobalt forums.

**99blueZ** · 10-25-2006, 01:23 PM

Is there an easier way to install the headlight blackouts? They fit nicley on the v6 but I can't get them to fit right on the SS.

You need to put some meat on that ass...........

Those were the factory 10 spokes SS wheels that came on the car. Their off the car now.

They should fit the same on the V6 as the SS. Mine partically come off from time to time - so i just push them back on all the way. I try to tuck them into the fender as much as possible.
