At least the Pontiac Solstice will still be available as an Opel GT.

The Opel GT is built in the same plant in Delaware as the Solstice and Sky. R.I.P. Opel GT.

They are all nice enough small sports cars except for the severe lack of trunk or other storage space. You are limited to about a 2 night trip in a Solstice/Sky if one of the passengers is of the female type.

It's too bad they didn't package the car so that it had at least as much storage room as a Miata.

The Solstice/Sky had decent handling and if you didn't like the looks of one, you probably liked the looks of the other.

About time...


And TTAC is almost bang on the money about cars...

Sad, but necessary. Very necessary, and long overdue.

Seems all companies making some what problimatic all the quality designed out of them to make the CEOS bonus big. What is the big difference between any of the major car manufactures . There doesn't seem to be any real exciting I want to go out and buy it type of vehicles made. Other than the new Vette which I am not into sportcars though the Vette is real neat .No pickups offer anything that turns me on .I looked at the new Camaro post and the new Ford Taurus Doubt it. The Mercury Maurader was cool. The Buick Grand National was definitly cool. The Caddilac Escalade, some one foolish to over pay for a Chev SUV doesn't get me excited nor does a Hummer. BMWs are too pricy as well as MB for the price and quality . The Impalas with RWD were cool. The Toyota small trucks were great till the style I own not that it is really bad or anything.It is just the 84 and 92 were so much better had more of a sole or spirit in a mechanical sense.

What, not made in Rüsselsheim? On nein, den will ich aber nicht!

 

[Audi Junkie]

I actually really liked the Astra 3-dr.

 

[moribundman]

I'm sure they still make that one in Germany and in the UK.

 

[Aldaris]

Why are they keeping GMC? GMC doesn't do anything that Chevrolet doesn't already do.

 

[Bob Woods]

Its time for GM to combine GMC and Chevy truck, we all know they are the same thing anyway. Leave it to GM to screw up a success story. Since Saturn quit selling the ION they don't have an economy car, the type of car they were comitted to on start up.

 

[oilyriser]

They could save money by calling all their cars GM. Fewer letters on the sign.
