Post Bel Air and Solstice

Anybody know what the production possibilities are for these two show cars?

I'll take a stab at it:

Bel Air--Not a chance, at least not as it was shown (styling went over like a lead balloon)

Solstice--much better chance, although I think Lutz will focus on other projects first. I'd also look for some subtle changes to its styling (i.e., front end)

Belair was supposedly very cheap & easy to bring out on the market, & it was initially aimed to be produced. Doubtful now.

Solstice was a sort of image car for the auto show circuit that according to a Car & Driver story wasn't even supposed to be driveable when displayed. Now it seems the car has taken on a life of it's own, & may see a version produced after GM's other cars make it to market.
