I knew somehow Pontiac is going to disappoint me when the G6 would reached production. That interior is ugly, plasticy, and cheap looking.

Ugh, this thing looks like crap. I guess it's marginally better than the Grand Am but that isn't exactly saying much on its behalf.

I'm surprised the interior came out as well as it did. But after seeing the Solstice's interior (a supposed sub-$20k car), I know GM/Pontiac could have done better than this with the G6. The gauges look like a carryover from the Vibe/Matrix and the exterior is very sedate and boring, almost Camry-ish in its plainness.

As well as it did? I'm curious as to what exactly you think is a positive aspect of this particular interior. Okay so it's better than the Grand Am, but how could anything not be?

Look at the interior of say, the Mazda 3. It starts at like $14k and looks infinitely better than the G6. Look at this picture (everything there is standard aside from the nav system) and tell me that Pontiac has even come close to that level of quality in a car that stickers for a good bit more than the 3.

They need to kill whoever designs GM's steering wheels.

Yes. Why does GM always come up with such hideous steering wheels. The interior is a bit better though, i'll give em' that.
