Have you seen the upcoming G6 coupe? BLEH!!! Oh crap, my bad, the G6 coupe image just loaded above the G35 image. LOL, does that mean that even the IMAGE ITSELF is as slow as the car?

I have to admit. Its a far cry from the Bland Am that it replaces. At least GM is trying to move itself in the direction of the third millennium with the car by not going retro like everyone else is.

Still, its GM. Wouldnt even think of buying it.

 

It's funny you should say that. Word has it that the head creative director for Infiniti's ad agency recently (~6 months ago) went over to Pontiac's agency.

Of course this has nothing to do with any vehicle styling similarities, but the stylistic crossover of the media (TV, print, billboards, etc...) is nearly blatant. If the previous agency could prove such a violation of proprietary priveledge, there would be legal consequences. Unfortunately, this is almost impossible to prove, even if true.

You'll also notice Infiniti's advertising has been changing .

 

1st time I saw the beginning of that commercial, I thought it was an Infiniti commercial!

 

No! Where did you get that from? The Cavalier is dead, and it shares nothing with any current production car. Production of the Cavalier ended nearly 2 years ago. The Cobalt replaced the Cavalier, and its an entirely new and different car, and has nothing to do with the G6.

The Pontiac G6 is also an entirely new car - it replaced the Grand Am, but has nothing in common with the last Grand Am. The G6 is based on GM's global Epsilon platform, which means it shares the same chassis as the Saab 9-3, and many other cars in Europe and the U.S.
