Pontiac - 2 seater car - back this fall !!!

[c-l]

Before anyone starts hyperventilating, read on:

No it's not a plastic car 
No it's not a space tube frame 
No it's not even mid-engine 
Hell, it's not a Fiero 

It's a solstice.


Reading through some of those documents, I saw that the "target" sales for the car is 30,000 units a year  Did they not kill the Fiero for better sales performance that this 


Pontiac... What are you doing ? You just missed the best opportunity you had to bring back our dream car... All you had to do is touch up the `89 Fiero model to look a little bit more modern, slap in a turbocharged & intercooled 4.9 liter engine and price the whole package under 20K canadian (including shipping and taxes) and, you know what Pontiac, I certainly would have ordered 2 or 3 of those cars

. At 2,860 pounds, the Solstice is no lightweight. 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

only 170hp geee they could have added more power than that.

Northstar powered Fiero, 0 - 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.  nuf sead.

Not as new or flashy though.
