Pontiac Solstice Gets Green Light


Detroit January 16, 2003

Mark Phaelan writing for the Detroit Free Press reported that General Motors Corp. said it plans to build the affordable Pontiac Solstice roadster it introduced as a concept car a year ago.

GM Vice Chairman Robert Lutz said the rear-drive convertible would have to sell for less than $25,000 when he introduced the concept at the 2002 North American International Auto Show. The two-seat Solstice concept was equipped with a super-charged 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engine that produced 240 horsepower.

John Smith, GM group vice president for vehicle sales, service and marketing was quoted as saying, "We have every intention of bringing it to market, and bringing it to market to make a buck".

The report stated that it's not clear where GM would build the Solstice. The concept used the company's Delta architecture. That set of components is the basis of the Saturn Ion and Vue built in Spring Hill, Tenn., as well as the replacement for the current Chevrolet Cavalier, scheduled to be produced in Lordstown, Ohio.

Building the Solstice opens the door for GM to build other small convertibles, such as the Saturn Sky and Buick Bengal.

I feel the same way about this that I do about the forthcoming Chrylser Pacifica.

It looks nice...but.....its an American car!

 

I believe the Pacifica is going to have some MB parts, such as the engine. I agree it's a sharp looking vehicle, but I'm going to wait till see if it's reliable.

Same for the Solstice-show me the reliabilty and a high grade interior and I'm there.

 

Looks good, but it's GM.

 

Another Z4 wana-be...

 

:sqnteek: Wasn't the concept out BEFORE the Z4 was introduced??

 

the solstice has been out for 2 years now, the Z4 is a solstice wanna-be

 

kinda looks like the speed6 but props to them !!

 

too plain to me. not a killer look, like the 350Z nor does it have the Z4 bold look.

sorta looks like a cross of the 300M, thuderbird, toyota celica and mr2 all thrown together

LMAO, I don't see the similarities beteen the Z4 and the Pontiac Soltice. Besides they are both roadsters. Where are you guys going with that?

They don't look anything alike...

However I do really like the style of the Soltice. Might I remind everyone we drive American made cars. lol

go GM

Guys? only one person said it looked like a Z4 (if he even implied that), the rest corrected him...and yes our CL is made in america, but quality imo is quite different than ANY GM, Ford, or Chrysler
