The Pontiac Solstice is a two-door, two-passenger roadster available since 2006 in Convertible and GXP trims. The Convertible offers enhanced performance from Variable Valve Timing fitted with its twin-cam, four-valve-per-cylinder, 177 horsepower 2.4L ECOTEC I4 engine, while the GXP is driven by a 260 horsepower 2.0L Turbo ECOTEC I4 direct fuel engine. A racing-derived front and rear, forged aluminum wishbone suspension provides greater handling while a five-speed overdrive manual gearbox - with an option for five-speed overdrive automatic transmission - allows smooth gear shifts during acceleration or cornering. Better traction in the Solstice is derived from 18-inch aluminum wheels while a dynamic rack-and-pinion steering system gives superior connection between driver and road for deft navigation. The impressive Pontiac Solstice also exudes sophistication with a weather-proof Haartz' canvas roof with insert rear glass window while comfort is provided by a height adjuster in the driver's seat, as well as sport bucket seats with lateral support to ease the stress of long rides."
