Rick Cotta
Lack of a usable rear seat positions the largish G6 coupe against smaller sporty coupes like the Acura RSX and notably, the new Mitsubishi Eclipse. Oddly, it's a good value in that company. However, this is no economy car, and a BETTER overall value might be the GTP sedan with its REAL rear seat.
