Pontiac will offer the G6 as a four-door sedan upon introduction that is set for late summer 2004. In the months following, development will begin on a two-door coupe, and reportedly a 2+2 convertible, which will undoubtedly share some components with Saab's sensational 9-3 Convertible. This time the trickle-down effect is very positive.
