Pontiac goes
retro with the 2009 Pontiac Solstice coupe, unveiled at the recently concluded
New York Auto Show.
With sleek lines and a targa-topped roof, the two-seater
coupe took design cues from the Solstice coupe concept exhibited at the same
show eight years ago.
The removable roof is made of magnesium and weighs just
14.2 kg (or 31 lbs). Like its convertible sibling, the Solstice coupe is
powered by a 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine delivering 173hp, while the
GXP version gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged Ecotec with 260hp.
The interiors also
get the same treatment as the convertible, except for minor tweaks in design
made to the area behind the seats for easy access to the cargo area.
