Closest I can do right now is an 89 
But the 94 (or whatever the last year was) would've been highly similar. 2 different 89's shown here: http://89tempest.8k.com/pics.htm
Sharp little PMD product, if I do say so myself.

The name "Solstice" is meaningless in automotive terms - kind of like Chevrolet "Equinox." Similarly, the name Tempest was blighted by being attached to a Canadian version of the Chevy Corsica.
How about the name GTU? It would be a great marketing bookend for the revived GTO and both names refer to displacement categories in racing. (GTU is under 3-liters, GTO is over.) The name is short, modern and was last attached to a model of Mazda RX-7 back in the late 80s. If the name is available - the trademark has surely expired by now - that would be my pick.

As far as GTU... that was used as the uplevel Chevy Beretta for a few years (87-89 I believe)... I don't think that would really be the best choice...
