Unless the 2007 Pontiac G5 GT model’s retuned suspension is better than we’ve experienced in the GT or even GTP versions of the G6, the G5 looks to be another puzzling move by a company that is touting itself as GM’s performance brand. Maybe buyers of the base G5, seeing that “sporty” front fascia, will be fooled into thinking the G5 is a little pocket rocket, but we’re guessing not. And when asked about a possible GXP model, Pontiac reps told us there are no plans for such a model at this time. How about dropping in the Chevy Cobalt SS’s supercharged four? A good idea, but it’s not on the radar. Maybe instead of driving characteristics, Pontiac will be judging performance on how many of these shiny ducks its dealers can move off the lots.
