G5 marks the return of a compact coupe to Pontiac's lineup after the Sunfire was discontinued in 2005. This 2-dr comes in base and GT models. It shares its basic design and 4-cyl powertrains with the Chevrolet Cobalt, but G5 doesn't offer sedan or supercharged versions. Base G5s have 148 hp, GTs have 173. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard. A 4-speed automatic is optional. Traction control is available with automatic transmission. ABS is optional on the base G5, standard on GT. GTs include rear disc brakes and sport suspension. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags are available on all. OnStar assistance and remote engine start are optional. G5's performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Cobalts.
