I never did like that Solstice fastback/coupe. The Sky coupe concept that was floating around out there in cyberspace it even worse. I would LOVE a Sky Redline coupe where the top is designed more like the 90's MR2 or Ferrari F355, but maybe that's out of vogue these days - not recent enough to be trendy, but not old enough to be retro.

I want it to have a sunroof like the Porsche Targa, and a DI V6 with a turbo
mike
it's Wilmington DE, not NC.
And there's not going to be a DI V6 turbo, responding to the above comment. If such a powertrain existed at GM, it'd be going into a Caddylac first and foremost, I'd hope. They're stepping the 2.0 DI turbo up to 300 HP for the 09 model year... If that isn't sufficient, you probably need a bigger car.

I would love a hard top witha removable top or even a sunroof. Seems a bit late for this party. This concept is from 2002.
seeker
who said that? I want a hard top WITHOUT any removable panels or even a sunroof...
mo
yeah, i agree with seeker. pontiac should do a hardtop without any removable panels, and give the removable roof for the convertable solstice. just like porsche do.
andrew
I must agree about the hardtop. Hardtop is the way to go. I had t-tops on my MR2 and, while cool at first, I ended up taking them off very rarely (no more than a few times a year). After a while, I coveted a hartop, which were always in short supply.

mike, I said I wanted, I never said I expected it

I'll take whatever they'll give me. Maybe the coup will have some storage capacity so you can drive somewhere with a change of clothes.

I liked the Nomad concept for some storage space, but for a proper Solstace Coupe, give me a notchback -- yeah, Fiero syle, baby.
BTW Porsche Targa is a "TARGA" top, not a sunroof, not a T-Top... meaning the whole pannel over both seats comes out ... for those less polished, think Honda delSol.

This would be interesting, but they would have to fix the rest of the car's faults - or should I say deficiencies relative to its competition.

HEY T-TOPS ARE COOL TILL THEY START TO LEAK.
