I remember PacerX mentioning some engineering drawings of an IRS. But as far as I've heard Tubular's front suspension would be lifted off of Delta.

Do we know anything about Tubular's front suspension??

Paging PacerX!!

PacerX, What type of IRS does Solstice have? Is it possibly a tri-link design?

I certainly hope the Solstice isn't being held back. I am really looking forward to the coupe and could see the car as a legit 350Z-fighter. It would certainly be car that would fill the hole in Pontiac's lineup.

I have also heard the rumor that the Bengal and Sky were cancelled, but the Solstice is still a go!

My first response to this was how can you justify a completely new chassis/platform/architecture for the Solstice only? As I mentioned before, by its nature the Solstice is a very low volume car (less than 20,000 a year). If this car is still a go, they will need somthing to share this platform with to justify it. The cancelling of Bengal and sky may mean they have found something more important to put on this platform?

Well, Opel wants a version of the tubular, and I would imagine that the decision on whether or not they apporve a V8 for this application would directly effect other products that might be planned. Which leads me to think that a Camaro is very likely to be seen on this structure.
