The Pontiac Solstice will keep its value better than any other new 2006 domestic-brand vehicle except for the Dodge Viper, Automotive Lease Guide predicts. Automotive News says the guide, which sets residual value standards for the industry, predicts the Solstice will hold 54.0 percent of its sticker price after three years. The roadster has a base price of $19,995. Among domestic vehicles, the Solstice is second only to the 2006 Dodge Viper. The guide projects the Viper to retain 60.0 percent of its sticker price after three years. What makes the Solstice so strong in this category is that the car is “well packaged and well priced” as well as having lots of “curb appeal.” Another popular vehicle, the redesigned 2006 Honda Civic, has a resale value of 53.0 percent after three years, the guide predicts.
