Pontiac Solstice: The Affordable Roadster
The Solstice was Pontiac's stylish two-seat roadster, an affordable, good-looking sports car from the brand's final years.
Produced from 2006 to 2009, the Solstice was a rear-wheel-drive two-seat roadster that gave Pontiac an attractive, affordable sports car to rival the Mazda MX-5. Its curvaceous, eye-catching styling drew strong praise and attention.
The Solstice offered a four-cylinder engine, including a turbocharged GXP version with stronger performance, plus an available coupe body style late in its run. It emphasized style and open-air fun at an accessible price.
The Solstice was cut short by Pontiac's closure, but it remains a stylish, affordable roadster and a high point of the brand's final years.
