As everybody has been discussing, the USA Today writes that GM is planning to introduce the Solstice, Nomad and HHR as entrants into the biche market.
Solstice, with a 240hp supercharged motor and a $20,000 price, will offer the best of both worlds- the power range of the Nissan Z (a little more with 287hp) and below the price of the Miata (which has 142hp). The car will be a winner.
Kudos on the Solstice. Unlike the GTO that has been (rightly or wrongly) chastised for its style, the local crowd which consists of engineers (many of whom have 60's cars that they show) have given the styling of the Solstice a thumbs up as long as GM doesn't water it down.
The articles goes on to explain how GM will also build the Nomad and HHR off the same (Kappa) platform which will reduce costs and assembly times.
Again, the Nomad will outpower the Mini and Mini S and hold the same price. And look better doing it.
