It’s easy to blast off in the Solstice right from the show room floor. The Pontiac Solstice stirs up into a pot and melds together awesome power, stirring options, and out-of-this world styling. One needs to go back into the time machine until the 1959 Bonneville to refer back to any other worthy Pontiac split-screen. This car is a worthy challenger to the BMW Z4 and Audi TT, with only half of the price tag.

Option-wise, the Solstice comes in two trims, the base package and the GXP. The basic package comes with a 173 horse power, 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine that pleasantly conserves the gas. The power-packed GXP package places a whopping 260 hour power turbocharged engine into a 2.0 liter, four cylinder engine. Both power engines are attaches onto a five speeder manual or auto transmission. The basic model includes electronic traction and stability control, limited slip rear differential, four anti-lock disc brakes, impressive 18 inch alloy wheels, and satellite radio. If the base package isn’t enough, the GXP then adds dual exhaust tips, a faster responding transmission, leather to the steering wheel and shift knob, and plush carpeted floor mats.

While there’s much to enjoy for the Solstice, it’s not without some draw backs. The steering is not crisp. The Solstice tips the scale at over 3000 pounds, so being quick-and-lite is not upon the abilities of this car. Also, when zipping out from corners, the Solstice is prone to hang on. Starting from zero, the take-off is certainly not overwhelming. This car wouldn’t make a passing grade in ergonomics, with components illogically positioned and plastic components littering the interior. Trunk space storage is only adequate.

One can quibble over these minor problems, while the exterior style more than makes up for these deficiencies. Pontiac certainly isn’t known as a style leader, which the Solstice corrects. The Solstice’s styling evokes exotic images that wi ll appear in your nightly dreams. Strangers will come up and strike up conversations about your Solstice. The good personality of the car certainly exceeds the minor nits. Enthusiasts contemplating a sports car should jump into this car and not look back.

Upon its government loans, General Motors is being forced to ruthlessly shed its dead weight, which means eliminating its low selling brands of Saturn, Hummer, Saab, and Pontiac. The car chase scenes forever etched into movie lore have either the Pontiac Trans Am or GTO zipping around.  Who can ever forget the movies Smokey and the BanditorTwo Lane Blacktop with a raging GTO?  The Pontiac Solstice is now on the block to be cut. Even though the Solstice is a clear winner, it can’t carry the dead weight of the Pontiac line by itself. The elimination of this car would effect now only the entire assembly line upon it and its parts suppliers, but those business which also sell after market parts (such as the Pontiac Solstice windscreen / windblocker / wind deflector).

Convertible owners love their car. The Pontiac Solstice started life to strong editorial reviews and passionate owners. As quick as the announcmenet of the end of Pontiac came, the online community responded to save the Solstice (see SaveTheKappa). This website was quickly started by passionate owners to persuade General Motors that the Solstice is worth preserving.  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.  The eventual fate of the Pontiac Solstice itself is still to be written. Even though General Motors is pulling the plug on Pontiac, perhaps profitable lines could continue their lives. Keeping the Solstice going would be a great relief for the fans, the workers, and the businesses dedicated to this convertible. The Solstice’s eventual life is still up in the air, yet this car will always have a vast group of followers dedicated to it.

One glance at the Solstice upon the show room floor, you’ll already want to jump in and zip away. The Pontiac Solstice stirs up into a pot and melds together awesome power, stirring options, and out-of-this world styling. It’s been over five decades, since the 1959 Bonneville, to find a split screen that caused so much excitement. This car challenges the BMW Z4 and Audi TT at half the price.

As far as options go, the Solstice is available in two different trim packages, the basic and the GXP. The basic package comes with a 173 horse power, 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine that’s still reasonable on the gas mileage. The deluxe GPX upgrade amps the engine into a 260 horse power turbocharged engine into a 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine. With either engine, it will be pair with a five speed automatic or manual transmission. The base model does include electronic traction and stability control, limited slip rear differential, anti-lock disc brakes all the way around the car, generous 18-inch alloy wheels, and crisp satellite radio. If the base package isn’t enough, the GXP then adds dual exhaust tips, a faster responding transmission, leather to the steering wheel and shift knob, and plush carpeted floor mats.

While there’s a lot to like about this car, it does have some deficiencies. The steering can be slow and unresponsive. The Solstice is still a weighty car, at over 3000 pounds, so this car will never feel nimble on its feet. Also, when zipping out from corners, the Solstice is prone to hang on. Taking off from the red light, the acceleration does leave something to be desired. This car is not comfortable, with components in illogical spots and substandard parts made from third-world wages. Trunk space is very tight.

One can quibble over these minor problems, while the exterior style more than makes up for these deficiencies. Pontiac isn’t known for head-turning styling; with the Solstice, they finally turn the tide. The duel-hump body work of the Solstice provide a wonderfully futuristic look. People walking by will turn their heads and check your car out. The merits of this car decidedly weigh on the plus side. Enthusiasts contemplating a sports car should jump into this car and not look back.

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.

One glance at the Solstice upon the show room floor, you’ll already want to jump in and zip away. The Pontiac Solstice stirs up into a pot and melds together awesome power, stirring options, and out-of-this world styling. One needs to go back to the 1959 Bonneville to find a split screen to find another worthy Pontiac contender. This car is a worthy challenger to the BMW Z4 and Audi TT, with only half of the price tag.

For selections the Solstice has two options: the base package and the GXP. The base package packs a 173 horse power, 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine that pleasantly conserves the gas. The souped-up GXP package takes 260 hour power turbocharged engine into a 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine. Both power engines are attaches onto a five speeder manual or auto transmission. The base model does include electronic traction and stability control, limited slip rear differential, anti-lock disc brakes all the way around the car, generous 18-inch alloy wheels, and crisp satellite radio. The GXP adds onto the base package, and then adds dual exhaust tips, a sport transmission, leather shift know and steering wheel, and upgraded floor mats.

There’s certainly a lot to enjoy about the Solstice, it’s certainly not a perfect car. The steering is not crisp. The Solstice can be a fat hog of a car at over 3000 pounds. Also, when charging out from curves, the Solstice likes to hang on. Starting from zero, the take-off is certainly not overwhelming. The car is also not ergonomically friends, with components in awkward positions, composed of parts made of plastic from third world countries. Trunk space is sparse, hardly holding enough for a weekend trip.

While the Solstice has some minor bummers, the best feature of the Solstice is its body lines. Pontiac certainly isn’t known as a style leader, which the Solstice corrects. The Solstice has awesome styling, something from both yesterday and tomorrow. People walking by will turn their heads and check your car out. The good personality of the car certainly exceeds the minor nits. Drivers in search of a top-down driving blast will not regret this selection.
