Chinese Drivers

Didn't the Chinese invent the internal combustion engine 3000 years ago along with kites, paper money, difficult writing, interesting hats, little feet, gunpowder, first teashop on the moon, golf, quick sex and the theory that in the future they would rule the world so they could drive how the hell they like?. In the Chinese parallel universe they really are the best drivers.

Describe Yourself: Auto Enthusiast

Automobile journalists will find plenty of fault with the Pontiac G6 GT because it's not the BMW or Lexus by which they judge other vehicles. Professional reviewers will complain about the handling, power, seating, instruments, baggage space and anything else that doesn't meet their spoiled expectations. Screw them. You are getting a beautifully designed automobile for the money when you purchase a Pontiac G6 GT. The target demographic this car is aimed at can't or don't want to spend the bucks on some overpriced luxury/sports coupe that doesn't do all that much more than this G6. There is plenty of power with the 3.5L V6, and I'm consistently getting 30+ MPG highway with this baby. Yes, the instruments could have been more readable, but so what? I can read them just fine. The sound system is great, especially if you put a sub in the trunk. The ride is smooth, and it doesn't isolate you from the road like more expensive offerings, and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. For half the cost of a Lexus, which is nothing more than a glorified Toyota, you get a car that's fun to drive, comfortable, stylish and solid. I don't know how Pontiac kept the price so low, but they did it without compromising on quality. Bottom line: You can't go wrong for the price.
