Does R.I.P. for Pontiac Equal the Death of the Solstice?
The requirements from the government loans to General Motors are brutal, forcing General Motors to rid itself of the poor performing brands of Saturn, Hummer, Saab, and Pontiac. Among the great Pontiac cars, are the big GTO and Trans Am muscle cars, made famous in many movie car chase scene. Who can ever forget the movies Smokey and the BanditorTwo Lane Blacktop with a raging GTO? Also on the block is the big selling Pontiac Solstice. Despite being the shining star of the Pontiac lineup, the Solstice can not preserve the Pontiac name badge by itself. If the Pontiac Solstice is no more, not only those dependent upon its assembly would feel the loss, but also those business business which also sell after market parts.
Convertible owners feel almost parental to their car. The Pontiac Solstice shot out of the gate with great press, positive automotive coverage, and buyers lining up with cash. No quicker than Pontiac’s end came about, did its fan base answer to save the Solstice . The website quickly sprang into action, calling Solstice owners into action to help save their beloved car. Although brand new, fans are already flocking to this website, and activity will certainly pick up as the Solstice’s demise becomes near.
Unfortunately, it’s simply too early to tell what might happen. There are still a lot of gyrations left to play out in this interwoven business saga. Whatever will eventually happen to the Pontiac Solstice is still an open question. While General Motors plans to put an end to Pontiac, there is an outside chance profitable product lines could live on. Keeping the Solstice going would be a great relief for the fans, the workers, and the businesses dedicated to this convertible. While this car’s fate is up in the air and it’s too soon to predict its death, no matter what, the Pontiac Solstice will always have a supported fan base.
