Man, Pontiac's cars are getting downright sexy. The G8, the new Solstice, the possibility of a Holden Coupe 60 becoming a G8 coupe? Its so cool to see GM getting some world-class looks. Im more and more convinced to wait for a Pontiac instead of going with a Camaro.

The new Pontiacs ARE sexy. This Solstice may start being in the range of the Lotus with the coupe..

It's all speculation as far as it being a G8 coupe or GTO.
That solstice is very nice though.

I like it...and would very seriously consider it...meaning it will never see production. Ignoring this...it better come with a power increase to match the increased weight of that roof. | |

I think picking up a non turbo coupe wold be a good basis for a project car. My 2.4 turbo car makes decent power, and I'm sure this would be more of tha same.

I am right at 50/50 for selling the Camaro and picking up a Solsice Coupe GXP.

Gurney Bump, that's all you need.
For those who don't know what that means, it's a bump/bubble made in the driver side door roof portion that was on Dan Gurney's GT40. He was so tall w/ a helmet on that he wouldn't fit with the stock design.
It's the same thing they did for some pilots in WWII, they would do a blister on the canopy to allow the taller pilots to fit in them.

Those new pics are very lovely!
