I really don’t hear much about the Pursuits. Are the Cobalt sales kicking the Pursuits ass up in Canada? Also, do you guys think Pontiac will make a Pursuit GT and or a coupe?

 

I think it may be lack of advertising.
The Cobalt has two TV ads running all the time here. The SC one in the grocery store parking lot, and the sedan one where everyone is checking out the sedan in the owners driveway.
The Pursuit has 2 TV ads running but they are for a bunch of Pontiacs and the Pursuit only appears for a second.
There is a new TV ad (I just saw it this week anyway) where a woman is staring out her house window at her new Pursuit. She runs to the fridge and quickly drinks a whole jug of milk, and then says I have to go to the store for more milk (an excuse to drive the new car).
Also we see the US Cobalt ads
Maybe this might help things.
Of course for now, you also only get the sedan choice.

In driving around Toronto, I have seen 2 Cobalt sedans, no coupes and no Pursuits on the road (but I haven't been driving around alot lately). We have way to many Japanese cars on the road here IMO. Gas averages 0.85 $Can/liter here now, which may have something to do with that.

I thought the Pursuit coupe was coming this summer?

Do you get any Canadian TV stations in Cleveland JonelZ?

 

Canadian station in America? Maybe on satelite, not cable tho.

 

wow......here in vancouver, i've seen 2 blue pursuits on the streets already.....while only one for cobalt.....it was an LT tho ....it looked awsome... ........$0.85/liter?.......we are paying around $0.95/liter most of the time...... ......and yea...there IS a lot of japanese cars around....6 out of 10 jap, 2 out of 10 european, 1 out of 10 korean.......and the reat american.....

 

That info is very misleading,
The American version is the Cobalt. The Pursuit is just a Cobalt with different bumpers. They are sister cars with the same engine. There is no V6 Pursuit. Just the 2.2L

Just wanted to clear thing up. For more info, look it up on http://gmcanada.com

 

In Buffalo NY and Detroit MI they get the major Canadian stations on cable TV ( or they did last time I was there), and Cleveland is just across the lake from Ontario.

 

Are you for real? Back me up guys

Pursuit = Cobalt NOT G6!

I suggest you look into it if your a salesman

Oh and look at this:

GM has the Cobalt in the Compact category

and the G6 in the Mid-size

Pursuit:


Cobalt:


G6:

 

the pusuit looks almost exactly the same as the cobalt. the g6 looks different than the cobalt.
are you a new salesman?

 

Cobalt & Pursuit are Delta cars; the G6 is a (midsize) Epsilon car. The Malibu is also on Epsilon.

 

Thank you

 

Just cause 90% of the Canadain population live within 200 miles of the US border doesn't mean that 90% of the US population lives within 200 miles of the Canadain border.


Nice strip clubs in Niagara Falls though

 

You're welcome

 

there are a bunch of pursuits on the lot at McPhee Pontiac. i have only seen one on the raod here in Halifax N.S though.


Oh and, i'll back you up on the pursuit being a cobalt with a different bumper. I just lost any faith i had in car salespeople, not that there was much to begin with.

 

More proof that salemen don;t know what they are talking about! lol

G6 is in Canada too buddy and is midsized. ThePursuit is Canada only but is also sold in Mexico as the G4.

whew...I needed a good laugh

 

glad i am not buying a car where he works!!

 

LOL, me too.

The G6 and Cobalt are the same oh, too funny

 

Same here! Saying a G6 is a Pursuit/Cobalt is like saying a Cavalier/Sunfire is the same as a Grand Am! I always heard they got the good smoke up in Canada, looks like this guy got some LOL.

 

Ummmm, say's in his profile that he is from Michigan, so I'm guessing he's American.....Don't insults us Canadians like that

 

Opps, I took the whole Pursuit thing being Canadian, and simply lost the fact he was in the states. Oh, and believe me, that was not an insult!

 

Not quite. The Pursuit and G6 have a much stronger resemblance to each other than the Sunfire and Grand Am do. So confusing the G6 and Pursuit is somewhat understandable, although the G6's long wheelbase is one big giveaway. :P


By the way...I saw a G6 yesterday in the same Wal-Mart parking lot where I spotted the base silver Cobalt sedan. I'm assuming the G6 was a GT because it had chrome wheels.
