The Pontiac G6 was first introduced at the 2003 North American International Auto Show as a concept car.
The concept used a 3.5 L supercharged V6 that made 285 horsepower and 272 lb ft of torque mated to a 4T65-E electronically controlled automatic transmission.
When the G6 was introduced in 2005, it had two trim levels, base "V6" and sportier "GT".
Both trims, however, used a 3.5 L pushrod V6 producing 200 horsepower (150 kW) and 220 lbf·ft (300 N·m) of torque.
Matched to a four-speed automatic transmission, the GT featured TAPshift, where the driver could select the gears manually.

Base models were well equipped, featuring power locks, windows and mirrors with keyless entry, six-speaker CD stereo, power drivers seat, air conditioning and split folding rear seat.
GTs added an eight-speaker Monsoon stereo, premium cloth seats with six-way adjustment, remote start, ABS and traction control.

In 2006, the G6 added two new trim levels and two new bodystyles, a coupe and a retractable hard top convertible.
The new trim levels were a new base four-cylinder trim (sometimes referred to as "SE"), and the high performance "GTP".
Coupes and convertibles were available in GT and GTP trims only.
The new base model used a 169-horsepower, 2.4 L DOHC inline-4, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.
The 3.5 L V6 was now part of a sport-package on the base/SE, and remained standard on the GT.
The new GTP used a 3.9 L version of the GT's 3.5 L V6, but also utilizes variable valve timing (VVT), increasing output to 240 horsepower.
A four-speed automatic transmission was standard, but for no cost, a six-speed manual transmission was available.
The GTP convertible was not available with the manual transmission and reduced its power to 227 hp, due to a more restrictive exhaust system.
The GTP also featured standard electronic stability control.

The 2007 G6 saw more engine changes, and standard side torso and side curtain airbags (actually introduced late in the 2006 model year) were new.
The GT now featured VVT on its 3.5 L V6, raising power from 200 hp to 224 hp.
The 3.9 L V6 became an option on the GT, producing 227 horsepower in automatic transmission form and 240 horsepower in manual transmission form.
The GTP was given a new 3.6 L DOHC V6 with 24 valves and VVT, producing 252 horsepower at 6300 RPM.
It is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Midway through the model year the six-speed manual was dropped with the 3.9 L, along with its 240-horsepower output.
The GTP convertible was also discontinued.
For 2008, the GTP became the GXP with more dramatic styling cues, and the 3.9 L engine became an exclusive convertible option, with horsepower down to 222.
SAE ratings also dropped the horsepower ratings on the 2.4 L and 3.5 L models to 164 hp and 219 hp (217 hp on convertibles), respectively.

For 2009, 2.4 L four-cylinder engines were added to the coupe lineup.
An all new 6 speed automatic transmission, which debuted on the Chevrolet Malibu, became optional on 4 cylinder models.
GM revised the G6 in the middle of 2009, creating a "2009.5" model year.
Changes consisted of a revised front and rear fascia as well as a revision of the dashboard, most notably adding an updated radio with Bluetooth capability.
 Coupes and convertibles ceased production at the end of the 2009 model year, making examples with the 2009.5 changes fairly rare.
Subsequent to this model's introduction, General Motors entered bankruptcy, and announced that the G6 sedan would be discontinued in 2010.
Most other Pontiac models had been discontinued, but the G6 was in high-demand for fleet vehicle orders, facilitating production to continue while the brand was wound down.
In 2010, the G6 had white back-lit dashboard lights instead of the traditional red, Pontiac color scheme.

GM began marketing the Buick brand in Mexico to replace Pontiac after the 2009 model year, GM replaced the Pontiac G6 competitively with the Buick Regal, and later in the United States & Canada, the G6 & the Saturn Aura were ultimately replaced by GM's revived Buick Regal nameplate.
