It was one of the last Pontiac models sold and it shared platforms with the Saturn Sky and modern day Opel GT. It's also kinda rare to find since there was only 1,266 coupes every manufactured. I'm mostly suggesting this since there's a concept Solstice already in GT and I think it would be great to have the production version as well.

That's also true, it's just a Mystery I suppose.
I even forgotten about this thread after a while. Of course, thanks to you; I can go change a few things in the original post such as adding more pictures and maybe a couple small things.
 
GM had real potential with this car to steal away Miata buyers, but their incompetence and sheer blindness meant that the Solstice was not what everyone hoped it was going to be. The coupe was brought out at the end of the car's life, which also was the end of Pontiac's life.
 
Yeah, that's sad. I remember seeing them at an auto show back in the day, and thought they were pretty cool - personally I do like the Sky a bit better than the Solstice. I'm still really disappointed by the fate of the Pontiac brand. :(

I thought the same way about the Solstice/Sky. I wouldn't mind driving one.
