The Pontiac Solstice is a high point of innovative design. All the planning, engineering and refining culminates in an inspired roadster, delivering what may very well be the perfect open-air driving experience. Fluid lines wrap around the GM global RWD compact performance architecture with unibody construction, and set the stage for crisp response and exhilarating performance delivered by the 177 horsepower 2.4L 4-cylinder ECOTEC DOHC VVT engine. The AISIN 5-speed short throw manual transmission allows for quick gear changes. Four-wheel vented disc brakes slow you down before you accelerate out of the corners while the ergonomic contoured driver's seat holds you firmly in place.

This is Pontiac's Renaissance

Pros: Great exterior styling. Nice dual clamshell openings for the trunk AND hood. Beautiful execution overall.
Cons: Needs more oooomph. Needs a more refined drivetrain. A 6 speed tranny would be nice.
The Solstice is Bob Lutz's gift to the Pontiac faithful and to those who never thought of owning an American roadster. This cars has so many positives, but it is not perfect. It is the most beautiful 2 seat convertible I have seen in quite a while. The curves and exterior design are drop dead gorgeous and the way the wheels feel the wheel-well openings is a sight in itself. The car handles better than cars twice its price, has a great yet simple interior design, and a more potent engine offering in the GXP model is soon forthcoming. I just wish they had the power of the GXP model now, as I bought mine in November after ordering it in April.
