Ive seen this a few times in Lake Orion, is it a 2+2, four seater, or just extra cargo room?

Is there any word of a Sky hardtop? The Solstice just doesnt do it for me.

nogonnahappen.

GM just announced recently that the successor to the kappa platform has been cut from development. apparently GM loses 10 grand per car on those. a sky hardtop with a classic fastback shape would be sex though.

Solstice Coupe Pontiac is supposed to release a coupe version in 2009. A removable targa top and hatchback. Gonna look at them when they come out.

there is an aftermarkit outfit that dose make a hard top the Solstice. I have seen it couple of times. I would have ask the owner about it, but it was kinda.....UGLY.

With it being a Pontiac, it should be Safari not Nomad.

The pic with the BMW also has a NOM sort of feel to it. What the hell is parked behind it? It looks big enough to nom on that BMW. The car doesn't even clear the top of the lug nuts on that rig!

unfortunately, GM already ruined the Safari name. ironically with their famous badge engineering

Looks like some kind of matchbox car compared to that thing.

This is why GM is astounding to me. They make a decent car and they can't build it without taking a massive hit.

...but the gov't is supposed to bail them out.

Unreal.

How in the hell do they lose 10 grand on those cars? Does that mean they are losing money on the Cobalt SS, HHR SS, and so on? I really don't understand that..

Wow! I like the '09 Solstice Coupe alot. I have a feeling the general public will hate it though...which means I might actually be able to afford one in a couple years.

Yea Its not the Coupe that Im referring to, it looks similar to that Nomad concept from the doors back.
