2006 Pontiac Solstice Makes Detroit Shine

Added: 01/19/2006

The 2006 Pontiac Solstice beats any words that might be thought of in an attempt to describe it. This is a car with classical style. It is the car that is making mouths water as the greed and need for owning one seems to want to overtake the people. This is the consideration that the manufacturers had in mind when they made this car. It is a design that will test the strength of 2006 and it has only just begun.

General Motors occupies an extremely important position in the state of Michigan. It is no secret that GM has been struggling with sales for some time now and that many plants have been closed throughout the country, which has hit Michigan especially hard. Detroit is of course known as the "Motor City" and with good reason. The big three of the automotive industry got their start and flourished in Detroit, Michigan, which makes it particularly devastating to see the major decline for GM.

The good news is however that the 2006 Pontiac solstice seems to be providing some hope to people that sales may increase with this hot new sports car. It is basically a two-seater roadster with a great body design that is sure to please most any eyes and the base price is just under $20,000. The last we have seen from Pontiac sports cars is the firebird, which has been history for some time now and left us waiting for the next step in Pontiac sports cars. This is why they have comeback with a vengeance. It is seems like 2006 is the year that most car fanatics are going to see the revival of old names. That can only be a good thing in that it opens up to more choice. People will find it hard to choose the car of their dreams as more and more cars will hit the scene and tickle the car owning thirst.

An elaborate automotive show takes place in Detroit each year in February, which means it is coming up soon. It will be exciting to see how well the 2006 Pontiac solstice does with so much competition at the show. So far, the word seems to be that this five-speed manual, 2.4-liter, 177-horsepower four-cylinder engine car is fun to drive and a real head-turner. The base model however is just that - very basic. For $19,420 you get the gorgeous car but without much else.

For example, the windows and locks are not automatic, the interior is cloth and the outside mirrors must be adjusted by hand. There are a plethora of packages offered though that will upgrade any feature the buyer is interested in. Of course with the upgrades comes an increase in price and when all is said and done the "under $20,000 sports car" becomes more like a $25,000 car but without question it is a very attractive car nonetheless. In fact, if you look at a picture of the very first Corvette and compare its silhouette with the side view of the 2006 Pontiac solstice you will see major similarities. The curvaceous ness of the car is truly breathtaking as there is not a single right angle to be found on the body of the vehicle. In addition to the beauty of the solstice, the performance is also said to be impressive with good power, solid braking and responsive steering, all of which combine to make it an enjoyable and fun car to drive.

It was Detroit's time to produce something that would wow consumers and get people talking about Pontiac sports cars again and the 2006 Pontiac solstice is just the vehicle to do it! I hope that this will help GM turn things around in Detroit and bring a smile to everyone's face whose pride has been restored in Pontiac sports cars and General Motors. If nothing else, people will certainly be smiling when they see a 2006 Pontiac solstice driving down the road.
