31 July 2007
Merely minutes after the Pontiac Solstice roadster was launched, members of the media and the public alike were asking if General Motors had planned to build a hardtop version. Last year, GM’s head car guy, Bob Lutz, said that a coupe was an almost sure thing, and now the automaker is rumored to have the coupe ready at some point in 2008, sooner than was previously expected.
According to Automotive News, the hardtop Solstice will usher in boosted performance expected to be carried into the roadster. Pontiac will stick with four-cylinder engines; any development on a V6 for the cars has been shelved. The V6 engines GM was developing would have been too heavy for the car’s balance, according to insiders familiar with the program.
The Solstice will carry on Pontiac’s performance line, as the GTO is officially off of the tables for at least the short term.

The really bad thing is about these cars, are they are made for smaller people. I have sat in plenty of these cars and the corvette has more room in it then this car. u have to be 5″4 or smaller to fit in one of these cars comfortably . and be about 100 pounds. I think the MG midget has more room than this thing!!

What kind of stuff are you talking about? I didn’t get a word of it! I’ve never understood people, who spend their time on commenting stuff like that.

My opinion is that this website is one of those, created for people with a low intellect level, with a stupidest points of view ever. Seems like only retards gathered together here, to discuss their retarded thoughts. Just read there comments! Man! It’s hilarious. They all act like kids in kindergarten, but kids are even smarter!
