	Pontiac Solstice Parts: Excellent pontiac Solstice Parts for the Superb Pontiac Solstice
		The Pontiac Solstice was first seen as a concept car at the 2002 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
		Aside from this, the Solstice rides on a wheelbase 6 inches longer than the Miata but its length is less than 2 inches greater.
		As a roadster, the Solstice brings the driver and its passenger to the edge of their seats as it traverses to curves and open highway effortlessly.

	usnews.com: Auto reviews: Pontiac Solstice (1/6/06)
		One surprise, given the corner cutting elsewhere in the Solstice, is a clever cupholder that pops out of the dash on the passenger side.
		The Solstice is such a showstopping design that buyers placed several thousand orders for the car before it even materialized in showrooms this fall.
		It's not a bad car to fall in love with at first sight: The Solstice is cute and curvaceous in the front, with a brawny rear end that makes it more masculine looking than competitors like the Mazda Miata and the Honda S2000.

	Pontiac Solstice News
		Pontiac Solstice News was on hand for the Canadian reveal and when we asked if we could pop the hood, the Pontiac rep said sure.
		PONTIAC - Boasting a 47% boost in horsepower over the stock Solstice, the 2007 Solstice GXP was introduced at the Greater Lost Angeles Auto show and later shown at the '06 NAIAS in Detroit, the Chicago auto show and the CIAS in Toronto.
		Though it was previously reported in Pontiac Solstice News that the GXP variant of the Solstice would feature a six-speed transmission, Pontiac has decided to stay with the five-speed, apparently because there was no measureable performance improvement with the six-speed.

	General Motors: Pontiac Solstice 2006
		The call went out at the end of September and by mid-October, the Pontiac Solstice roadster was under development.
		Solstice’s power is created by a new 2.4-liter variable-valve version of the Ecotec DOHC four-cylinder engine, producing about 170 horsepower.
		The Solstice’s proportions are accented with five-spoke wheels and a low, wide stance.

		For 2006, the Pontiac Solstice was chosen as of the contenders for the North American Car of the Year and Design of the Year from AJAC.
		For instance, the backup lights are the same as the GMC envoy, the steering wheel is the same as the Pontiac Torrent, the 5-speed manual transmission is from the GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Colorado and Hummer H3 and the seat structure is from the Opel Corsa.

	NASCAR.com - Pontiac Solstice: From prototype to production - Jul 29, 2004
		The Solstice's most distinctive curves are the sensuous sweep of the hood from the windshield to the bottom of the front bumper, and the elegant teardrop-shaped aeroshells that extend from behind the headrests and blend seamlessly into the deck.
		The Solstice we drove was not a track-ready car so our speeds were limited, but we were assured that all the correct production mechanical components were present.
		Pontiac claims the new 170-horsepower, 2.4-liter variable-valve version of the Ecotec DOHC four-cylinder engine is enough to move it from zero to 60 mph in just over seven seconds.

	Pontiac Solstice Roadster Concept (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The call went out at the end of September, and by mid-October, the Pontiac Solstice roadster concept — an open-air, sporty, “gotta-have-it” car — was under development.
		The exterior of the Solstice roadster is finished in a rich gunmetal gray color, giving the nod to a slight European understatement in the approach.
		The Solstice is powered by a rear-wheel-drive 2.2-liter DOHC supercharged Ecotec four-cylinder engine generating up to 240 horsepower with premium fuel.

	Carpages.ca - 2006 Pontiac Solstice Roadster Preview
		This 2006 Pontiac Solstice production vehicle, remaining true to the original Solstice concept, was built from the ground up in less than four months utilizing GM's new rear-wheel drive Kappa architecture.
		The rear differential migrates to the Solstice from the new GM midsize SUVs and the six-speed manual gearbox is "shifted" straight from Chevy's new Corvette.
		Pontiac's hot little four-banger may not have the refinement and high rev capability of the F1 inspired Honda inline-4, but I would be willing to bet that with a supercharger forcing wind down the Ecotec's throat, lower-end torque will favor the Solstice.

	2006 Pontiac Solstice Review, Prices, Photos: New Car Test Drive
		Consequently, the real-world performance of the Solstice appears to be closer to the S2000's than to the Miata's.
		Solstice designers have taken styling cues from the exterior and continued the theme inside using the body color as part of a two-tone finish.
		Solstice's reason d'etre is best summed up by Bob Lutz, GM's vice chairman of product development: "True to the thinking behind the original concept, the production Solstice is all about being a back-to-basics roadster with gorgeous lines and fun-to-drive characteristics." Hard to fault the reasoning or the result.

	2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP - A Serious Boost In Performance - High Performance Pontiac
		Pontiac's debut of the long-awaited '06 Solstice was a high-profile, Donald Trump-fueled introduction that pretty much forced the American car-buying public to take notice that General Motors was reinventing its ailing performance division, which was suffering from obsolete product, low R&D budgets, and lackluster marketing campaigns.
		The fact that the Solstice was featured on The Apprentice certainly did not make it a great car, but the innovative marketing campaign did a good job of getting the word out that Detroit is making some exciting products worthy of consideration in the import-dominated market.
		For the '07 model year, Pontiac has seriously upped the ante in performance for the Solstice, in the form of the Solstice GXP, which debuted at the '06 Los Angeles International Auto Show.

		For better or worse--actually a little bit of both--the production version of the Pontiac Solstice hews closely to the show vehicle that automotive legend Robert Lutz commissioned shortly after he joined General Motors (nyse: GM - news - people) in 2001.
		Pontiac's new roadster, based on GM's new rear-wheel-drive Kappa platform, is eye candy that turns heads wherever it is driven.
		But the option sheet has few baubles, which means even if you fill in all or most of the boxes, the sticker is still in the $25,000 to $26,000 range, and that's with options such as XM satellite radio, six-CD changer and leather seats.

		"The Solstice is striking in its purity and simplicity.
		The Solstice's basic structure started life as a derivative of GM's global small car architecture, with several modifications for structure and balance, including extensive use of aluminum.

		Pontiac follows up the launch of the 177HP Solstice roadster with the introduction of the 2007 Solstice GXP at January's 2006 Los Angeles auto show.
		We've driven the standard Solstice and found its power to be complementary to the vehicle and conducive to a spirited drive.
		There are not many differences between standard and GXP Solstices, but the GXP gets unique front and rear fascias; high-polish, dual-outlet exhaust; StabiliTrak vehicle stability system; a 3.73 rear axle ratio; and a unique gauge cluster and cobalt red stitching.

		And Solstice includes a standard rear-hinged deck-lid that conceals the roof when it's down to preserve the car's stunning good looks.

		Much of this is because the Solstice is a line-for-line production version of a handmade concept car by the same name that traveled the auto-show circuit in 2002.
		For one thing, Pontiac developed an entirely new twin-tube platform — like a scaled-down Corvette chassis — to mount the body and running gear, rather than altering the stunning show-car's design and making suspension and power-train compromises to accommodate an existing chassis.
		And to keep the let's-make-a-few-little-changes executives at bay, GM VP Bob Lutz, the overlord in charge of new-product development, made it clear that the Solstice was his lion cub and would grow up to symbolize a new era of imagination and excitement at Pontiac.

		Rather, Pontiac has decided to kick the Solstice into high gear by offering it in GXP guise, giving it the performance credentials to make it a serious threat against the BMW Z4, Honda S2000, Nissan 350Z, and even the Porsche Boxster.
		The inner workings of the Solstice GXP's engine are truly impressive - this is one very advanced powerplant, words you normally wouldn't hear describing your average GM mill.
		The Solstice GXP is EPA rated at 11.8 L/100 km city (20 mpg) and 8.7 L/100 km highway (27 mpg), impressive for a sports car with such a superb performance potential.
