The 2008 Pontiac G6 Coupe is sold only in GT and GXP trims, with two different V-6 engines: a 219-horsepower, 3.5-liter or a new-for-2008 252-horsepower, 3.6-liter in the GXP. The two engines carry similar fuel economy estimates of 17 mpg city, 26 mpg highway; the more efficient four-cylinder engine that’s offered in the sedan isn’t available in the coupe.
The two engines in the 2008 Pontiac G6 Coupe both bring strong acceleration, but they have quite different personalities. The 3.5-liter follows an old pushrod design and comes with a four-speed automatic transmission. It’s responsive, but the engine can be coarse and loud. The 3.6-liter is a more modern overhead-cam design and is tuned such that it has especially strong passing power. Emphasizing that difference is that the 3.5-liter comes with a four-speed automatic, while the 3.6-liter comes with a new six-speed automatic. The six-speed is a big improvement over the four-speed, with smooth shifts and relaxed cruising.
