Pontiac Solstice
The Pontiac Solstice
is a roadster automobile from the Pontiac
division of General Motors. Introduced at
the 2004 North American International Auto
Show, the Solstice began production in Wilmington,
Delaware starting in mid-2005 for the 2006
model year. The exterior styling of the production
Solstice is similar to that of the 2002 Solstice
concept that preceded it. Pricing begins at
US$19,995. Production of the Solstice was
to be running before Summer 2005, but delays
at the Wilmington plant pushed volume production
to the fourth quarter
The Solstice uses the
GM Kappa platform, which will also underpin
the Saturn Sky and Opel GT. Pontiac may eventually
build a fixed-roof coupe version, which would
allow the Solstice to be eligible for certain
racing events not open to convertibles. The
Solstice was nominated for the North American
Car of the Year award for 2006.
