The Car Connection spent some time in the new Pontiac
Solstice. The timing of the review is appropriate, with many Mazda MX-5 reviews hitting the news stands within the
past month. The overall impression was a positive one, and TCC clearly evaluated that the Solstice is competitive
against the new contender from Mazda. The Solstice is heavier, but also a touch more powerful. The guys at TCC
seem impressed. The Solstice is needed to help drive showroom traffic to Pontiac’s dealerships, and it makes a
much more emotionally involving halo car than the jelly-bean styled GTO. Do not get me wrong, I love the GTO, but
it’s not the most attractive car Pontiac has ever produced. Hold on, when has Pontiac produced an attractive car
in the past decade? Aren’t they responsible for the Aztek? Anyway, the Solstice clearly has the sex appeal to
bring buyers into Pontiac lots and the performance to start a following.
