Whoa! A Solstice Removeable top WAGON?!?!

Looks like I'll be checking out Pontiac's display at NAIAS.

Storing that roof would be a pain, but man that's a cool option for those who might need so extra space in the colder months of the year.

Re: Whoa! A Solstice Removeable top WAGON?!?!

i like it, different.. but cool.. it'll increase the miniscule cargo room of the Solstice as well

clarification:.. This is NOT a Pontiac concept. This removable wagon top is made by a German aftermarket company called EDAG (Engineering Design AG). We might still see a GM-designed coupe. EDIT: heh, i posted this before i clicked the link and realized it said the same thing.. but i'll leave it.. images of this thing had been posted on another board and people were getting pissed off at Pontiac thinking this was a concept for a Solstice Coupe)

now.. if Pontiac did design a Solstice Coupe.. i hope it looks something like this:


someone photoshopped a Porsche Cayman S top onto a Solstice.. looks freakin sweet imo

Is it just me, or does it seem like every sporty car comes out with a photoshop with a wagon top. I know I've seen Camaro and Firebird wagons before, just to name two...

the firebird wasn't a photoshop, it was made by Hurst, it actually exists.

Re: Whoa! A Solstice Removeable top WAGON?!?!

neat! But I'd still rather have a Solstice coupe (like the concept shown originally along with the 'vert).

GM already DID a Solstice coupe. It was a foam mockup that was shown along with the roadster back in 2002? I think that's when the Solstice was first shown.

Re: Whoa! A Solstice Removeable top WAGON?!?!

I did a little tweaking of the original Solstice coupe concept a few months ago....
