The folks at GM are working hard to resurrect all of their brands within their respective niches. Pontiac hit a home run when they released the drop dead sexy Solstice roadster and now it looks like they have plans to build upon that model’s success. Way back in December, the internets got all fired up when Bob Lutz told the folks at Winding Road that a coupe version of the Solstice was in the works. In fact, at the time, Lutz went so far as to say “If we did it, it would look exactly like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe Concept Car that we had at the ’02 show. Remember it? The orange one.”
Looking very much like a modern interpretation of the Cheetah sports racer from the Sixties, the Solstice coupe is scheduled to appear as a 2009 model. Power will likely come from a 4 cylinder in a variety of performance levels.
We Build Excitement is the Pontiac tag line these days and it looks like there are indeed exciting days ahead.
