I call BULLSH*T!!! The G6 proved that. Customer's went to car initially because it was a beautiful styling exercise, and despite the "Pontiac Interior" theme... was just as good as the 2007 Camry's when it came out[/B]

Styling is the hook that lets you drag people in. Funny story of how I ended up owning a 2009 Malibu.
Wife and I went to our friendly neighborhood Chevy dealer to see if they had a Camaro I could drool over one afternoon after watching Transformers 2.
Wife sees the Malibu and says "This is cute. I really like this" and a few hours later we've exchanged our Altima for a Malibu. If she hadn't liked how the car looks, we'd probably still have an Altima...
