AutoNews GM Future Vehicles List, Solstice Coupe

http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dl...041/LATESTNEWS

For 2008 it says:
Solstice coupe debuts
I hadn't heard anything concrete on this. Is this accurate?

Ya I agree, I thought there wasn't a very good chance of this happening. Sure hope I'm wrong though.

Cheaper, lighter, stiffer, more useful interior space I'm all about it.

Thumbs up Re: AutoNews GM Future Vehicles List, Solstice Coupe

Wow. That looks hot. Never been a fan a of ragtops or targas and always liked true hardtop cars. With some sticky tires that would be a hella fun autocrosser and far better looking than the Miata (though it has a few extra pounds).

I hope GM pulls the trigger and makes it!

Personally, I'd rather see the Kappa coupe as a Chevrolet Monza or a Pontiac Firebird.

If that is available with the gxp, I would have to consider owning one. Rear wheel drive, great turbo motor. Add a boost controller and exhaust and I would be in heaven.

LOL

Man I love a good one liner!


Seriously though. I could see something like that, in a 2+2 config, as a Firebird far more easily than a reskinned Camaro (although the nostalgic part of me would LOVE to see the TA/Firebird as an F-Body brother, I just don't see it happening).

I thought we were trying to kill product overlap?
