The targa-top Pontiac Solstice will be the last of the Pontiacs and after only a few months of production. Pontiac is scheduled to close production in 2010 and the Solstice coupe will be the last of Pontiac’s new models. With total production of only approximately 1,100 units when operations will end at the Wilmington plant in the end of July, the Solstice may become a collectors item. The coupes will be numbered sequentially so that it will be easy to determine which exactly of the 1,100 cars a collector may own. The GXP version has a sticker price of $31,000 and comes with a 4-cylinder 260 hp engine. One reviewer extolled the beautiful exterior but was disappointed by its relatively plain interior and by the relatively small size cockpit. He was further disappointed by the lack of convenient storage spaces in the passenger compartment and small luggage area. The reviewer also complained about the layout of the dashboard instruments and the wind and road noise. Despite its many faults, that particular reviewer found it to be a sexy little car designed by one of General Motors’ top designers who has subsequently left and is now employed by Tesla. The Solstice GXP seems to be a lot of sizzle but very little steak.
