One bit of trivia on the Solstice coupe - it would have been a true fixed head coupe, except that the safety approval process would have had to be redone at considerable cost, so GM opted to use a removable top panel, which sidestepped that expense.
Unfortunately they bodged the design of the top by not making the panel that you remove storable behind the seats so they offered a collapsible soft top that would stow there, but not well. Today the soft top changes hands for around $2K as not many were made (I bought my coupe new off the lot but didn't want a soft top - I'd have preferred the hard top to be welded to the body!)
Changing the top (an amusing video):
I would love it if my targa top was that easy to install.

Love the coupe!
NickD said:While I'm not a huge fan of the drivetrain, the majority of my gripes with the Solstice come from it's bulbous styling, low-rent interior, and garbage ergonomics, and a V8 doesn't fix any of that..
The Saturn Sky fixes the styling. Although I didn't remember the interior, I haven't been in one in more than 10 years.

Not a vehicle fit for two adult humans to ride around in.
