What Have I Seen? - toxo - 22-03-2018
I saw a car parked up outside a local pub last Thursday and I have NO idea what it was.
It was a small 2 seater convertible, in silver. The roof was black cloth. I think it was a 57 plate and the badge on the front was a long thin triangle pointing downwards. It had 2 ridges on the rear of the car behind the headrests, like a Carrera GT:

No ridges on the back
Close though, it did look quite a lot like an 8C. Right size etc.

The Solstice is meant to drive very well. Unlike most Pontiacs, sadly !

Yeah, the ever-reliable wikipedia tells me it's a RWD 2.0 turbo with ~220bhp, LSD as standard and sub 5.5 0-60!
Never even heard of it before, let alone seen one.

It's a real shame that GM got into real financial trouble just when they had put in a proper plan and started creating some really nice cars (solstice, camaro and CTS are a few examples)
The RHD camaro was something I was really looking forward to
