Default Pontiac Solstice

Pontiac Solstice Concept-
Small two-seat roadster with a 240HP supercharged EcoTec 2.2L I-4, Corvette six speed manual tranny, All independant aluminum suspension, RWD, supposedly(sp?) based on the Lotus Elise/ VX220, and $20,000!!

Too bad this is only a concept, this would be a real bang-for-the buck car

Nice, but it's only a concept.

If Pontiac ever produces it, it will probably wind up with mostly Grand Am components

With Bob Lutz at the helm over at GM now, we just might see some excitement out of Pontiac. He's the one that banned all side cladding to France, and pushed his dev team to come up with the Solstice concept in a record shot time span.

I don't know that you'll find me drving a Pontiac any time soon, though...
