Rl = G6

Exterior styling of the new RL and Pontiac's new G6 are eerily similar to me. Check out the pics below and chime in. I was flipping through my latest C/D last night and came across the G6 ad, but had mistaken it for the RL.

Wow... you're right!! even down to the door mouldings and tail lights.... Only thing I really noticed that was really different were the headlights (different angles) and the location of the gas cap.

go see the two in person, detective, and you'll discover that many cars look "eerily similar" to one another in magazines

Thank you, jatt. I can't move this to the RL forum, but it has to go to Cars & Bikes.

Dont get me wrong i like the new RL, the tail lights look a lil like the Saturn LSz tails, but the RLz are LED. Jatt is right thou, the car is really amazing if you look at it in person.

RL was developed way before the G6.

The G6 is the first good looking Pontiac in I can't say how long...especially with the bigger rims. Sharp! (Can't say much for anything else in that line tho.)

But keep in mind that the RL has a slight "Bangle" butt a la BMW. But good catch non the less.

I actully saw a white G6 one week ago. Trust me, there's nothing exciting to look at.
