If you like the car so much, just go out and buy yourself one. Comment by GMnumberone4ever, posted on January19 at 2:52 pm Nah...I could save myself the trouble and just take the $23K or so, for stcker price, withdraw it from the bank in one dollar bills. Then, pile all those dollars up in my driveway and set fire to them. So what would it take to get you into a Solstice then subielgtb? If you like the car so much, just go out and buy yourself one.

Besides, people are going to buy Pontiacs for their superior BMW trashing performance, their comfort and build quality prowess, not how they look. Pontiacs have always looked sporty and powerful, you guys who are knocking this story don't realize that Pontiac will continue to be successful despite your comments.

The "solstice face" cant be a trademark across the brand like the kidney grilles for bmw (or pontiac themselves), or the three-bar bullshit from ford. If everything looks like a solstice on a stretched wheelbase it wont be that great. Not to mention the best part of the solstice is the tall rear end. They better integrate a front license plate better. yeah really here we go with them using success until the well runs dry.

Maybe eventually they can be considered for cross shopping with BMW's as they want to be now. LOl – GM#1blah gives Lutz kudos for copying the format of Honda and BMW.

The Solstice is a turd w/ a bowtie wrapped around it. You can dress is up all you want but when it comes down to it. Its still a turd. And im talking about the engineering, fit and finish, and building material quality. They cut corners like Martha Stewart making a stock swap, just to get it to market at its MSRP.

The decision to sell the Commodore in North America as the Pontiac G8 was made just a couple of months ago and was originally intended to be announced in Detroit last week. The announcement has been pushed back one month, but that is simply not enough time to make any significant changes to the design. A significant change to the grille has major implications for vehicle cooling and safety. These issues cannot be resolved in one or two months. Furthermore, you can't just redo the grille as is implied by this report. The Solstice and Commodore have somewhat different design languages. A change to the grille design will propagate changes in the design from the front bumper to the rear bumper. Otherwise, you get a Ford 500 with a 3-bar grille. There is also the issue of tools and dies. As significant change in the design will require new and unique tools and dies to handle the G8 run. However, the run is supposed to be limited to 25-30,000 vehicles/yr. It doesn't make economic sense. To the extent that the report of a <i>Solstice-like</i> G8 grille is accurate, it depends on your definition of <i>Solstice-like</i>. The average observer will need the differences pointed out to him. This report sounds like idle speculation.

If they put a smooth Solstice front on the car with hard edge design on the other 2/3rds it'll be horrible. Remember...they did produce the Aztec...so I DO WORRY! The primary design of the Solstice is retro in feel....old Jags for example...why would they make a modern car look classic? Again, I'll reserve judgment until I see it at the Chicago Auto Show. I’ll reserve judgment until I see what they do with the G8. If they put a smooth Solstice front on the car with hard edge design on the other 2/3rds it’ll be horrible. Remember…they did produce the Aztec…so I DO WORRY!

The primary design of the Solstice is retro in feel….old Jags for example…why would they make a modern car look classic?

Again, I’ll reserve judgment until I see it at the Chicago Auto Show.

GM has made Pontiac a mockery for the better part of the last 30 years... why should they change the formula now? Budget rent a car will buy plenty of ugly gm cars without you or me. It also seems that Pontiac is lost in the doldrums of product development and stiffled by division confusion. They really need to make this work without the cartoon-like designs from their last 20 years. lets wait and see.
