Future Pontiac Solstice Variations - Page 2

*TAG UR IT* · 10-30-2007, 11:27 AM

I didn't know they made a Solstice GXP. Time to start doing a google image search. Is that turbo'd too?

stovt001 · 10-30-2007, 12:04 PM

Yup, same exact specs as the Saturn Redline. 260 hp, sport suspension, the like.

ahhhh...I like.

Actually, I like the interior on the solstice better.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 10-30-2007, 12:32 PM

That is nice...I especially like the "Oh, crap!" handle for the passenger.

stovt001 · 10-30-2007, 01:46 PM

I call them "Ohmygod" handles. I like how the new G8 designed the handle and hand brake to mirror each other. Its a really nice detail that shows just why the Aussies make the best interiors.

LS2 dropped in a Solstice Link

That's bad @ss right there. Two tone interiors done right make it all that much better.

In fact Bob Lutz himself commented favorably on the possibility of a Solstice coupe. Now the hot rumor is that a targa variant will be offered, but sadly may be limited to 10,000 units per year. So lets hear your thoughts on it. Do these plans sound good? What do you speculate may be the price, the real production numbers, things to be changed in the refresh, availability of GXP levels on the new body styles. Talk amongst yourselves. Personally, if they offered a GXP Targa starting under the price of a GXP convertible, it would compete heavily against the Camaro in my book. As much as I want that V8 power and the convenience of a back seat, a cheaper, slick-looking, nimble two seat coupe would be pretty tempting.

It's not a rumor about the Targa Top. It is a fact. Should be in the 2009 models.

Can you post some links? I'm NOT doubting your word...I just want to read more into it

stovt001 · 11-08-2007, 12:28 PM

Seconded^ From what I read it was a very supportable rumor, not just speculation, as most reports I read had their facts lined up. No contradiction is a good indicator of a strong source. So if you have links, I'd love to see them. Unless, of course, you're in some position of authority on the matter but aren't authorized to speak on it, which is perfectly ok.

My father has a Solstice. He was on the preorder list, and it arrived the week before christmas 2 years ago. How's that for a nice present

He loves that car, if I can get him to go, we'll take it to the Auto Show tomorrow in Miami. Anyone else here in Florida going to the show?
