05 pontiac solstice

wonder what is under the hood

And yet its still a pontiac

only 175hp (nothing a turbo charger can't fix)
I bet it doesn't weigh very much though

nice lines but what the fuck is up with that grill?
it looks liek a stereo speaker cover

looks good - u can't barely get anything for 20k these days

This was the first of many green lights approved by Bob Lutz the new guy at GM

He is also responsible for expediting the production of the GTO, Chevrolet SS-R, and the newly found momentum in the caddy line i.e. xlr, aggressivemakeover on the escalade and the goofy wagon looking thing

the solstace will have a ramp up to see if there is any appeal in the market. if it proves to be a hit thewy will waste zero time getting a high performance variant to market.....why......because they have publicly stated that the Pontiac division has a very clear memory of what happend with the Fiero....

The fiero in its concept was never meant to be a performance vehicle....with aggressive lines and two person cockpit it was not only mis understood by the market as an affordable sports tourer......it was also marketed incorrectly. Th Fiero proved to be disaster the cars could not handle even the lightest aggressive driving...

By the time Pontiac had made the car a true GT car the market had turned its backon the car and it was discontinued.....

Lutz will not allow tht to happen again and would like tosee the car become an inexpensve alternative to such models as the Z4, SLK, Crossfire, etc.

FYI......Bob Lutz was the man behind the Dodge Ram, Cab forward design integration for all chrysler passenger cars, the Viper, The Prowler, Neon, and many more.

The models above turned the company around and made it an attractive acquisition for Daimler who also owns Mercedes Benz and Maybach

Very nice lines!

dont like the "rounded" look of it, i would be willing to spend more for nicer looks on a good car

damn you said Fiero

what a waste of materials that was..

I think the solstice looks nice though...imagine stuffing a small V 8 in that thing..heh woot

Wow, not bad. I'll add to my list of possible cars to buy in 2005.

thats one ugly car....pontiac are the specialists in ugly cars.

you get what you pay for, 20k = piece of shit after waranty expires.
