Solstice Targa image!!!



The 3rd Pontiac to debut at NYIAS is the 2009 Pontiac Solstice Targa. The long awaited coupe version of Pontiac's hot little roadster will finally hit production. Here is a shot of it with its bigger RWD cousin the G8 ST.



this was on the pontiac website for a few hours... and someone got a screen shot.

It does look really good there. I am pleasantly surprised. I wasn't too huge of a fan of the concept.

Re: Solstice Targa image!!!

Is this supposed to slot below the roadster, or just be an alternative to it?

Looks good, but I'll be interested to see a better picture and to see what type of storage it will have. Being single, I don't have the luxury of having one "family car" and one "fun car." They kind of have to coexist, or at least in a similar manner as my current Firebird.

Oh my. That's better looking than the concept! It's downright gorgeous. They'll not be able to build enough of those. Pontiac just needs a RWD G6 replacement and it's set.

That should have sufficient storage in back, what with no top to stow. I wonder if it's a hatch?

Re: Solstice Targa image!!!

Now this car may actually add something to Pontiac sales numbers, unlike that lil' pick-up.

Re: Solstice Targa image!!!

Depending on price, this could easily be my next car. It really should have come out a year or two ago, but better late than never.
