I think the 2000-2005 Bonneville should be included here. Please see discussion at Talk:Pontiac_Bonneville. Haber 18:24, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Bonneville not included in G-platform. Source located in Bonneville talk page.--Tygone2 22:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed already... see Talk:Pontiac Bonneville. Haber 22:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Correction: Bonneville was built on the G-platform, however GM continued to refer to it as H platform.[1] VX1NG (talk) 12:32, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
G-body consolidation
editInteresting to see that someone consolidated all the C/H/K platform articles onto this one. This has been debated a long time ago on Wikipedia and the decision was to stick with the letters from the VIN codes and GM's published documentation.
I don't really care either way. But (a): Whether or not these cars are identical "G-bodies" is largely hearsay. And (b): This breaks the existing Wikipedia GM convention to use the VIN codes for older models despite radical differences. Atarivideomusic (talk) 03:25, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
"G" was a VIN naming structure
editThe official name of the full-size FWD platform was GMX690, as stated in a written contract between GM and Bosal. Search for G-Body FWD anywhere on Google and you will not find these GMX690 cars. G-body is a term used restrictively for RWD 1980s midsize personal luxury and muscle cars.
