Solstice

The new Solstice is a two-seat convertible that's cast in the tradition of classic roadsters from the 1960s, with well-balanced proportions and a low, wide stance. The Solstice's ragtop folds neatly under a clamshell cover behind the passenger compartment, providing a seamless top-down appearance. It's built on General Motors' newly created rear-drive "Kappa" platform, which will also provide the basis for the Saturn Sky - set to join that brand's lineup in early 2006. A 2.4-liter, dual-overhead cam, four-cylinder engine that produces a robust 177 horses, and is mated to a close-ratio, Aisin five-speed manual transmission. An automatic gearbox will likely be added to the line later in the production run. The Solstice's cornering abilities benefit from its inherently wide stance, standard 18-inch wheels and tires, and fully independent suspensions at the front and rear. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard, with anti-lock brakes optional. Standard equipment includes a CD stereo, rear defroster, and adjustable steering column. A full range of options includes power locks, mirrors, and windows, keyless entry, cruise control, leather seats, a Monsoon audio system, the OnStar communications/safety system, and XM satellite radio.

2006 Pontiac Solstice by TCC Team (8/29/2005)
Going toe to toe with the Miata - and scoring some direct hit.
