  • @casino555, it wouldn't surprise me that you are into necrophilia, since you are in little boys, like your father was. I can always tell when slow people like yourself know you've lost a valid arguement because you lower yourself into insulting people that are more intelligent. Enough said.

  • @Tophairybutt Aahhh... "Top Hairy Butt"... nice name... reminds me of mounting your grandma... yup... what a hairy butt she had. You must STILL be smarting from not only that, but the fact that your anal-loving grandparents STILL don't detract from the fact that the Pontiac Solstice (once again, say it with me kiddies...) BEAT OUT EVERY RICER-MOBILE that there ever was. Truth hurts sometimes... (and so does hopping on your granny and reaming her a new one). You lose.

  • @casino555, Sorry, but my name is not Charley. I am not familiar with the mx4 1/2, or the zzzz2000. When you say those other cars blow, I am guessing you mean they blow by your poorly made solstaz like your solstaz is going backward. As far as everyone buying a solstaz, you mean all of your homosexual boyfriends bought those cars, but I honestly don't know anybody that had bought one. So it seems that only your small circle of boyfriends are the only ones that had made the mistake of buying junk

  • @Tophairybutt Funny that you're into crap ricers that spend more time in the shop, when our American-Made Pontiac Solstices are putting your wanna-be shit-mobiles to SHAME. Even your grandma (who knows the Solstice beats out your zzzz2000) knows the Solstice is faster... and don't forget... for 4 years OUTSOLD your cheap import ricers that can't even make it off the starting line. No homo here... your grandma can attest... I was bangin' her in the azz the other night, LOL...

  • @casino555, really? Then why is it the solstaz can not compete in any sports car races with the MX5 or S2000? I will tell you why. The car is not competitive at all, its just built for the american woman or feminine american man. The reliability factor is also very low, search Consumer Reports! Also, the solstaz is the "#1 selling roadster in its class"...this means the only roadster built in the states with a 4 cylinder engine. Just think about that, and don't buy into your american propoganda.

  • @Tophairybutt Sorry, Charley... the GXP Solstice blows rings around the mx4 1/2, and the zzzz2000 (which puts me to sleep anyways...). Those other cars just... blow.

    And, again, don't forget... #1 roadster for four years. Not built in the United States... SOLD in the United States. Yup, along with your little wanna be ricer-mobiles which LOST to the American-Made Pontiac Solstice. Maybe you didn't buy one... but everyone else did. You Lose.

  • the 2006-2009 Pontiac Solstice was assembled in

    Wilmington, Delaware

  • it looks like a crossfire.. also this is the original concept car

  • Great looking car. Shame about the boot and interior. I'd like to test one out.

  • This video is incorrect. The Pontiac Solstice was never a good selling roadster. Its low quality american engineering shows quite clearly when viewing the car in person. The other thing, the american Pontiac company went bankrupt due to very poor quality, which led to very poor sales. The Solstice could never compete with the Miata nor the S2000 Honda. The Solstice was designed for the typical american man, but wages at McDonald's restaurants were cut to minimum american wages. No luck America!

  • @Tophairybutt The roadster no but the GXP/SKY Redline blew the Miata and S2000 away come race day. Union workers is where GM went wrong. $25-$35 an hour to install seats? It was a good seller and there was actually quite a wait list when it first came out here and abroad (Opel GT).

    BTW, the way you wrote your profile and your username.....you sound like a latent homosexual. Maybe thats why American men asked you out. LOL

  • @Tophairybutt You are incorrect, the video is very correct. The Pontiac Solstice was the #1 selling roadster all four years (2006-2009) it was available. This was a widely known fact at the time. No other roadster came close.

  • this car lives on as the vauxhall speedster

  • I llove my Hummer H3 and my Solstice GXP .... But nothing compairs to my first California Hot Rod .... A 1966 GTO overbored to 400 cu in, running a BIG Carter AFB, Crager Wheels ... The Whole deal ... Had her when I was stationed @ George AFB in Victorville CA in 1972. She was the 2nd fastest on the base ... my bud's ElCamino w/ High Performance 396 Big Block and a Tunnel Ram out the hood was faster! God .... What Memories for 60 year old car fool!

  • I bought my wife a Solstice GXP for Christmas in 2008. Let me tell you boys and girls .. It may not have the top end of a Ferrari or Vette, but talk about quick! No Lie ... I could probably turn 30 -45 degrees @ 60 mph with no problem.  Last week we took her through the twisted mountain roads of North Carolina ... 60-70 all the way, stable ride, goes where you point it, no over correction needed, as long as long as you STAY FOCUSED! Not a grocery car, just a toy, but sooooooo much FUN!

  • R.I.P. Pontiac :(

    The Opel GT is the same car with a different body here in Germany (which, I think, looks a little better).

    Pontiac were such great and pretty cars, it's sad. I hope they'll come back :/

  • @shototsu If im not mistaken, Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky nnd Opel GT is a same body model, same chassis, with different label brand on the car. while Pontiac Solstice having a different body style than Opel GT and Saturn Sky

    I agree with you that Opel GT and Saturn Sky looks better, but i hope they have the hard top one :D

  • @andylie Hi! You're right! Unfortunately there is no hard top for the Opel GT and Saturn Sky :-/

    That was one of some other important reasons why I didn't buy the Opel GT.

    The main reason was that it is simply too small for tall people like me (1,90m).

    Well, a Pontiac Firebird in good condition is also a lot of fun (see my video) :-)

  • shame on gm for cutting pontiac. they should have cut buick. i own a 99 trans am and i was really hoping to see the new 2010 trans ams. what a shame...

  • @heavymetal6893 Pontiacs were the same as chevys, Buicks are different. They didnt need 2 of the same car.

  • @666cemetaryslut pontiac brought more profit than buick. and a shitload of people also think that it was stupid to cut pontiac.

  • @heavymetal6893 You don't get it dude, they are the same thing as chevy except for badges and some body panels. They didnt need to be selling the same exact car with a different badge..

  • @666cemetaryslut pontiac was faster...

  • Buick is doing infinitely better in China than in the US which is why they didn't kill the brand.

    With the new Camaro, we might end up seeing a Trans Am package offered by an aftermarket company like the "Plymouth 'Cudas" which are based on the new Challenger. Anything is possible.

  • @moparmonster1965 yea you can get a fiberglass 2010 trans am body from vfn fiberglass. but the thing is that trans ams came stock with more power.

  • You've missed the big picture; it's all about the numbers sold. The Yugo would still be around if it sold like hotcakes, no matter how shitty the build quality.

  • i hope the Revell will consider to produce this 1/24 model !!! Please !!! One of the models-enthuisast from the world !

  • LOWEST GRIP with Pontiac Solstice Coupe

  • uuuuuugly

  • good job Pontiac coupe.

  • better with Opel GT "coupe"

  • @Cara2Luvu i want u naked

  • my dad owns a coupe, he had to fly three states away to get it, and as it turned out, the dealer he bought it from closed less than a month after he bought it. it turns a lot of heads and FLIES. I can't even imagine how fast the gxp must be

  • the gxp has 260 hp

  • imagine putting teh G8 GT engine in that car!! .. probably lose control and it wouldnt handle as well lol

  • People put the LS7 in these things (Thats a 427, 7.0L). Then they supercharge, or turbocharge them.

  • a 7.0L engine - OMG I would get killed or kill someone lol - good luck trying to catch me coppers!

  • Yeah just search for LS7 Solstice or Saturn Sky

  • is it dead with pontiac?

  • Pretty car, too bad it doesnt have a great engine.

  • got damn in  09 all the pontiacs were coming into superb awesomeness, never liked the 08 G5 an G6 looked like dang beavers but the 09s were cool too bad GM too bad

  • What's going to happen to the Solstice when Pontiac shuts down?? Will it become a Chevy Solstice?

  • They are only making 1,100 of these cars. Will be one of the rarest cars in the world.

  • i agree with the person down the list ,if your want a car to carry items in get an estate car , after all its a sports car. ummm are the comfertable and hardtop coming to u.k

    ive only seen one of these car drive past my house before

  • The hard top is a Pontiac special, since Pontiac designed the car they had the advantage to tinker with it. Opel Gt is the same as this car though, you can buy the Opel GT in the UK.

  • what is the name of the song in the background?

  • it's basically the same as the old solstice, but costs 30k more! (im also the 75,600 viewer)

  • how is the number 75,600 significant in any way?

  • IT DOESN'T :)

  • Pontiac dealers are asking for 5k over MSRP on this car. Who in ther right mind would pay a premium for a car who's company is going out of business

  • I own a GXP hardtop coupe. How would they have known Pontiac would get axed while bringing this to market? Minimal changes needed to make the car. In the planning stages for a while. Faster than a Boxster 0-60 in 5.5 for 1/2 the price. For 30K it's super sharp, fast, lots of features: Bluetooth, XM, chrome 18's, 6-disc, all power, leather, etc. The removable cloth top fits in the trunk. Makes up for not being able to stow the hard top. Minimal compromises for a 2-seater. Snap it up. Head-turner.

  • pontiac will not be dead yet....theyre recreating the firebird and will be out on 2011

  • lol no they arent they are closed they were going to make one but they got cut by gm before they could i wanted them to make a new trans am to but that dream is gone

  • whats the point? they are killing pontiac!

  • US car design and technology is horrid and left behind the rest of the world.. This one however looks cool. Hope for their sake they dont fuck it up by americanizing it.

  • Why would anyone expect the interior to be any different from the ragtop? Why the surprise by this guy? And if it looks like rain is in the forecast......LEAVE THE TOP ON EINSTEINS!!!!! Duh....and if there is no chance for rain....it's ok to leave the top in the garage.....what is the big deal? Oh that's right....it's an American car and folks need to go out of their way to bash it! Toyota quality and reliability has been slipping for 5 years now....and not a fucking peep from the import crowd.

  • finally somebody in the online car crowd talking some sense.

    thank you much my friend.

  • Yeah....it's amazing how trained and brainwashed the SHEEPLE in America really are isn't it?

  • Anybody that uses the word sheeple is a trendy idiot as well. Youre no different from the people you complain about. Just as clueless and full of themselves. Ironic isnt it?

  • what do you mean pontiac will be dead? no more pontiacs will be manufactured ? why ?

    oh i wish my fatha old rusty pontiac is still alive

  • Fail

  • WTF? The targa top doesn't even fit in the car anyplace when you remove it?! That's GM engineering for you. Exactly why they're dying.

  • Would you rather we go back to t-tops? Perhaps you didn't notice GM's XLR's folding hardtop or how the Corvette targa top stores without issue. GM is obviously capable. They should never have given people the Solstice targa option as it does nothing but give people something to whine about in an otherwise brilliant car.

    I like how you ignored the great little ecotec and all of the SCCA racing success these kappa platform cars have had.

  • what the dum ass didnt say is there is also a rag top that buttons on if it starts raining that folds up nice and small to fit in the car so pleas get your facts striaght before bashing on somthing and to everyone else this guy in the vid is a dum ass wth is wrong with leather seats is does that not count as nice intieror god hes dum and complaing about the room its a FUCKING sports car if u want to go shoping buy a FUCKING van!!!!

  • fuck gm WHY PONTIAC!!! get rid of buick or saab

  • they cant get rid of buick cause, the sales of buick are pretty high internationally, not so much here in U.S. They should of gotten rid of saab i know. why PONTIAC!

  • Das hier Abfall Du das entsorgst zusammenh mit GM?!?!?

  • R.I.P. Pontiac 2009

  • i know bro, just when pontiac cars were getting even sweeter GM fucks up and has to kill pontiac.

  • goodbye pontiac :)

  • no leas esto

    si no escribis esto en 10 videos tu mama se va a morir es 4hs

  • I like Pontiac!  but to bad they will be gone forever.

  • I was hoping they bring bring back the 1970 Chevy Vega on the frame Pontiac solstice. It would be like a 2010 camaro retro but cheap and better fuel ecomey.

  • I hope they continue the Solstice through another brand like Chevy, since they shut down Pontiac and all.

  • I think the solstice looks great. Its a shame that pontiac will be gone forever and with it are the hopes for a new trans am!!!!

  • its a shames that gm isnt making pontiac anymore

  • The very name is boring. The styling is full of visual dissonance. Lots of soft organic shapes that are out of place in what is supposed to be a performance car. Of all the names it could've been given, "Solstice", puts me to sleep.

    Clearly, GM has mentally disturbed people working in their market research and styling studios. They somehow think that turning traditional automotive styling cues on their heads is a bold statement. The Solstice is one of many ugly cars on the road.

  • very sexy...pontiac stayed true to its root. i love rear wheel drive

  • The excitement is gone forever. This car is why.

  • Put the Solstice next to a 1969 GTO Judge and tell me which looks better.

    GM styling studios are full of tormented tofu eaters who think that turning traditional automobile styling cues on their heads is cutting edge. They run every single design past a team of psychologists to make sure that NO masculine cues are on the car and that it doesn't excite certain emotions.

    1960's cars were designed to look fast, powerful, and visually balanced. Modern cars look ashamed of themselves.

  • You can remove the roof but the roof does not fit the trunk, so you have to leave the roof home? That's why Pontiac does not exist anymore....Buick is next...then Saturn and then Toyota is going to buy GM, if not Volkswagen that have just joined Porshe... Detroit is in Big Trouble for stupidity like this.... God Bless(save) us...

  • There were 4 Solstices in the FF4.. They belonged to members of Team Solstice. Google Madmods and you'll find them, and on car domain as well as the solstice forums.

  • pontiac is no more

  • wonderful car and very unique look,

  • cant fit the top in the back?? GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY

  • the solstice and new challenger are tied for being the most beautiful modern cars, especially the front part of the solstice.

    i want to see one in an ff movie.

  • Looks like a crossfire reject.

  • in my opinion, solstice roadster > 350z or 370z roadsters, but new 370z hardtop > solstice hardtop

  • its like the SLR from behind

  • Looks pretty good, but Pontiac were a good brand in the 70's-80's, and I don't think they are anymore..

  • Well they are actually better as far as quality and safety go today.

  • I don't know much about that, but I am more into the old school ones, like the '79 Trans Am, and most of the firebirds..

  • Yea they had some nice cars then.

  • It's the closest Pontiac can get to bringing back the Trans Am. The GXP should be called the Solstice Trans Sport or something.

  • pontiac is dead brand so is saturn and hummer

  • I wish they would have updated the interior. Otherwise its just too poor compared to BMW 1 Series or the 370 Z. Fix it GM !

  • why don't they just give it a V6 Turbo ala Buick GNX?

  • Piece shit. Don't try to copy 350z.

  • shut up

  • You shut up

  • no you shut up

  • 350z -_- seriously dude shut up

  • You shut up and buy American! Be patriotic!

  • technically... the 350z is american in a way for it was designed by someone in california lol

  • america is gay.

    obama made america less gay though.

    so good job.

  • i love that it is popular to be anti-american and ignorant(i apologize for being redundant) at the same time.

  • gay??

  • i could have SWRON that the solsitce roadster an sky were both introduced at the same time around 2006

  • me too.

  • they were i researched them an they were released at the same time in 06......this dosnt know wat he is talkin about

  • video playback is broken

  • when the release date?

  • nice car, but i only see old people driving this car.

  • thats cause they are "peppy" cars and not sports cars.

  • .......handles like a block of flats

  • check out the holden a GM company based in australia. their cars look way better than the cars we make here, and the sports truck here is called a ute in australia which has been around for a while. america makes ugly cars with poor quality.

  • ordered mine a week ago by the way... : )

  • Not practical.

  • I'm not saying it is. That other guy though was complaining about there not being enough power (which I strongly disagree with).

  • Practical for what?

  • You want more power under that hood? the 2.4 L base model can handle turbos up to roughly 1000 horse power until you need to throughbolt.

  • P oor

  • c'mon GM!! put a f**kin' 6-inline under that hood!!

    my nissan sentra '87 has more power than that!!

    that car can run at 200hp adding a little bit of motor!!

  • i mean 200mph*

  • gatteen91 - you are an idiot, 6i will throw of weight distribution... they already come with turbo 2L 260 hp. With $400 tune they can make 265 whp - 320hp at the crank.

  • ugly

  • i like it

  • i know

  • have you actually ever drove one?

    pry one of the funnest stock roadsters ive ever drove.

    the only complaints i nvr liked was the windnoise in the cabin from the shitty convertable top and when u hit a bump when turning the front wheels kick out right or left

  • i agree, i just ordered one of these yesterday. im not quite sure how anyone can think that it sucks balls, convertible or coupe. its beautifully designed.

  • under 5 sec 0-60 sounds good to me.

    if i wanted an evo id buy one. most people dont buy them to race them so they just need to quit bitchen IMO

  • I would love to see this thing with a twin turbo 3.6L LLT engine.

  • has potential, just needs more work imo

  • Looks like a Porsche

  • or the new alfa romeo 8c

  • Not bad looking, but that tiny trunk bothers me. Pontiac's got some nice looking cars on the road these days. I'd love a G8.

  • crap car dude..just buy g8 much better than solstice

  • you're crazy...

  • I'd love to put 10k down right now, but i'm worried about the top you HAVE to leave @ home.

    Pontiac has come a long way, yet has more way to go.AWD would really win me over...Either way - still a beautiful ride.

  • it will have a cloth roof incase of weather.

    go buy it:P

  • too small for me

  • Your calling the solstice gay? At least when you order the GXP you can have a manual... thats more than you can say for a pussy crossfire.

  • Oh my god! Who cares about cargo with a pleasure/laughing to the bank car. I just want to drive fast and have fun. Not put a piano in the back.

  • Miata>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­Solstice

  • slut

  • they could have made this car really nice if they gave it a better engine and a respectible interior, but they dont have the money. thats what you get for making a chevy tahoe hybrid. its like putting truffel oil on lard, and yes, the lard is the tahoe.

  • And that "lard" gets better fuel mileage than a v6 camry, oh and will tow a boat, rv, etc. No other full-size suv maker can compete. You're an idiot.

  • it barely gets 22 mpg if that

  • awesome looking car! inside is ugh, though!!

    and too bad consumer reports says it's build quality has been well below average.

  • They might put out 300 horsepower

  • yea that's why a japanese racecar guy drove the miata and this and said that this was way better.

  • this is a direct attempt to recreate the 350Z. Pontiac could NEVER successfully do that. I think this coupe will go down in the dumps when they go on sale.

  • there is a difference the 350z is the Trans am of nissan where the sky/solstice is just a sporty car that gets great gas milege that little motor gives over 30mpg. This is just a car for people who want the sport look but not the downsides of buying gm's other more high performance models which aslo cost more. so its cheaper and fun and is nice looking. and "this coupe will go down in the dumps when they go on sale" is a dumb they made it for people who want it. never paid attention to business?

  • It's not very hard to make a nice interior but American cars always have ugly interiors

  • u kidding? american cars have the nicest interririors....rice rockets are friggin ugly tho. its all a matter of taste

  • well compared to Japanese cars, American cars have great interiors. I take back what i said b4 though, didn't mean it that way. i love German cars, esp Audi, and I just can't figure out the design of American cars. They are big pieces of metal with with tires. Even this car looks weired, it looks like a cheap Japanese car

  • and why should your opinion be taken seriously. get a fucken life.

  • are you serious who wants a car where you have to leave the roof at home, what if it rains unexpectedly!

  • :-D... thats the issue with these loss eating companies.. THEY CAN'T STAY FOCUSED!!

    The started out with a convertible.. a competition to the Miata.. then without perfecting their design, quickly moved onto the coupe with a useless trunk.

    When are these guys going to learn that people don't just want new models.. they want PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING models.

  • really nice car!

  • I love this car but, that BLIND SPOT!!! It's crazy!!

    And they didn't add very much trunk space either. That's a real shame. Gorgeous machine though

  • FAIL Again Pontiac. less power than a minivan cool remaovable roof but you can't store it. ...and 260 out of a turbo isn't impressive either.

  • Dude. Are you retarded? That's a ridiculous amount. The 2004 VW Passat has 170 out of it's turbo, the 2008 Civic Si has 197, and even cars like the Evo and STI only have around 280. How little do you have to know about cars to think that horsepower is all that matters? Go buy a as guzzler like the G8. 361 horsepower, that should do the trick. Even though there are cars with far less horsepower that go much faster. But whatever, you're right, and speed is based solely on horsepower. 100% correct.

  • I wish people would get over this " gas guzzler " bullshit. I own a 2001 Trans Am that I drive DAILY. Its gas mileage is fine...and actually better then my mothers 2004 Grand Prix GT, and imports. You people are just too dumb to realize it.

  • I'll actually add to this. I didn't mean to say its better on gas mileage then every import either. But it is depending on what you are compairing to.

  • Yea, I much rather get a Genesis Coupe than this ugly piece of metal.

  • the genesis coup is korean shit in comparison

  • god the coupe looks UGLY!!!

  • Wonder how far away the Sky coupe is?

    I like everything about this car except the shitty interior. Other than that it looks amazing.

  • Wish the windshield was angled down more like 60 degrees, like a camaro.

  • I have had the gxp 08 for a few weeks. solid drive, I got the 5 speed auto and its a very fun car to drive. fast enough to be the fastest in its class, miataa left in the dust not even close, secound gear tire spin in the auto, great tourqe for a 2.0. But it is pushing 18psi boost not sure if thats good for a long life but, i went for the way extended warranty. 94 in the 1/4 not to bad, back in the 60's they called that a muscle car. Trunk space!! cup holders for freeken sack its a roadster

  • WTF man, some of the GM are fucking ugly. There's nothing special about that Solstice. Shhhittttt....
