i think i already seen one here
Several times. There's also been a post with the build guide for it (same as Cobalts, since it's still a Delta car)
Tail lights are nice but the front sux arse, they could have done something to change the overall look of the car more, especially after all there ranting about streamlining GMs brands and less rebadging the same cars.... I mean I always knew a cavy and sunfire were the same platform but at least they look way different.
Check out my car....

Well, the Ion looks different..
Red 2005 Saturn Ion-3 Coupe
Burgundy 2006 Saturn Ion - sold
^^^^^^I belive thats the old name
I think there was a topic like this...the pursuit will be either the subname or the name used in Canada...but im not sure
It has been called the Pontiac Pursuit until this year, now it's called the G5 Pursuit, and soon will be called just G5.
They brought it to the US because enough of us were b!tchin and moanin and complaining that there was nothing to replace the Sunfire.
Personally, I think G5 is the goddam stupidest name for a car. Its like pointing out that this car is a lower quality vehicle than the G6, and the whole G# naming convention is frickin retarded.
I would have loved for it to just stay the Pursuit...that is a nice name. Not G-blank!
i think they need a new grill...im sick of that same goddamn grill pontiac has been using since like the 1988 grand am

um the G5 isint in the same class as the G6 it shouldint be as nice as the G6 and also with G6 starts at 20G the G5 is starting at 14G and bringing the G5 over to the US is a good idea because pontaic might have people that like buying pontaics over chevys? like when the G5 gets here i have one waiting for me and its the GT one and i cant wait to get it.

They've kept the names on their vehicles no matter how many revisions they've gone through. Now I can understand going from the Cavalier to the Cobalt. To me, "Cobalt" has a better ring to it than "Cavalier". But that's just my opinion.
well it was j2000 then sunbird then sunfire then g5 so yeah they kept changing the name
yes and sunfire screams buy me
All I'm saying is that why can't they stick with a name. I mean, they did bring back the GTO and it looks nothing like the GTOs of the past.
Give a car a really good name that people will remember, build it so that when that name carries on for decades that people will remember it's reliablility. G5 is a name that has no personality. Giving the Cobalt it's name not only gave the car a great name, but the name goes with the companies catchphrase, "Like a rock!" Same with the Avalanche.
Pontiac had something going on with the words Fire, Bird & Sun (ei., Firebird, Sunbird, Sunfire...), as well as "AMs" and Grand (ei., Grand Am, Trans Am, Grand Prix.....). Why not keep with the theme?
As for the new grills....They've need to revise it. I know that they're trying to theme all their cars the same way, but come on..... they need better designers that will make people look at Pontiacs and have a little more awe to the way it looks.

The problem is...Sunfire/Cavalier are names synonomous with crappy build, poor reliability, etc. I guarentee that if they had kept the name Cavalier instead of Cobalt, it wouldn't have sold have as many units, even with the SS. Gm made a good move by dropping the tired names in order to renew their economy car lineup fully in the eys of buyers.
Yet Cavalier wind up selling more then Cobalt.^ Two, you ask any person on the street, face them to a Cobalt while the badges are covered and ask them: What car is this? I guarantee you that the person will say: "the new Chevy Cavalier."
Which in the end is not totally off. Name marketing can only go so far.
