What do you mean "if they spruce it up a little"? They don't need it to be even more overdone, do they?

Well, that's not exactly what I mean. It's a perfectly good/powerful offering, I just meant styling. It still looks very plain, like the regular G6. I don't think they should put some cheesy body kit on it, but a more aggressive front would look nice.

They should raise the lines on the hood/front panel so it looks angry.

And the rear still looks fat.

I don't think there are any sport editions of cars that get restyled, except the MazdaSpeed 6 and Camry SE which have different grilles. But the Altima SE-R, Galant Ralliart, Legacy GT, etc, all have the same general appearance as their lower-end sibling, aside from maybe a body kit or larger wheels.

True, but that's just boring.

ORANGE!!!!! AND ORANGE INTERIOR!!!!!!!!! (orange is my favorite color btw

)

I think it looks pretty good, but right in front of the rear wheel where the light starts reflecting showing the curves, if it was a little choppier (just a teency bit) it would look more muscular.

That probably would help.

I agree, I also think that it needs bigger wheel bulges or something to differentiate it from regular G6s.

What about those funny little air intake looking things they used to put on the special Grand Ams? Those really made the Grand Am look mean... in a good way. Do you think that would work on the G6?

Are you talking about the Ram Air hood scoops? If you are, I don't think that the G6 would look good with one of those.

Whatever you call these, yes.

I'm not sure either... but maybe something on the same principle?
