By GREG KABLE, Autoweek

GENERAL MOTORS IS prepping a world sports car chassis that will underpin
production versions of the Pontiac Solstice concept shown at the 2002 Detroit auto show and Vauxhall VX Lightning concept unveiled earlier this month in England by GM

Some pictures of the car for those who are interested in what it looks like:





I personally like the idea behind it, but the styling on the concept car is a bit extreme, it would look much better if they toned it down a bit.

Bit too Z4ish for me...

I dont see any of the flame styling of the Z4 their at all. I like this concept car, AGGRESSIVE.

I kind of like the looks of the Vaux. To me, it sort of has the lines of what I think GM is trying to do with their Cadillac brand. I also like the Solstice a lot. I think it was an excellent design exercise! I read that GM was going to put it into production. I 'm worried though, that by the time they actually start selling the car to the public- they may have missed their 'boat' from a market share perspective....
