Pontiac Solstice Discontinuation

In April 2009, after GM announced the discontinuation of the Pontiac brand by the end of 2010, CEO Fritz Henderson stated that the Solstice would not continue under another GM brand.

Although they considered selling the Wilmington plant and the Solstice/Sky products to an outside business, the Wilmington assembly plant closed in July 2009.In October 2009, the DeLorean Motor Company expressed interest in continuing production of the Solstice, but production has not resumed to date.

Video: Pontiac Solstice-Based Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 Replica

A while ago we showed you a Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster replica based on a Pontiac Solstice that was up for grabs on eBay. With the exception of the rear wing and the fact that in this case, the Solstice donor car is equipped with a manual gearbox, this faux Murcielago LP-640 Roadster that's up for sale on eBay with a starting price of (ahem) $63,244 is identical to the previous replica. Then why bother with it, you may ask? Well, simply because this eBay seller chose to show off the car with a video starring 'Zak'. Hit the jump and you'll see what we mean.

Promo Wars: Transformers, Pontiacs in Disguise...

Pontiac has begun its promotion of the Solstice GXP roadster that will appear in the new Transformers movie that’s due out July 4th. The promotion is also holding a campaign through Maxim, a magazine geared towards men. By visiting the Maxim website, visitors can enter contests whose prizes include a Solstice GXP and a chance to accompany Transformers star Megan Fox to the movie’s premier.

Other “transformations” that we’ll see in the movie include the likes of Chevrolet, GMC and Hummer vehicles. Pontiac used similar technology in a campaign tied to this year's NCAA men's basketball championship which generated a viewer click-through rate 10 times higher than other Pontiac online promotions. In this high tech digital age, we’re excited to check this remake flick from back in the day. -Click “Read More…” below and check out the Solstice - Transformer wallpapers

Who let the dogs out? Mallet presents "Pitbull" Body Kit for the Pontiac Solstice

In love with Mallet’s 400Hp+ V8 powered Solstice but chopfallen with its humble looks? No problemo; Mallet just turned Pontiac’s “puppy” roadster into a head-turning beast that’ll definitely give you serious street-cred –if that’s your fix. Mallet’s 6-pieces bodykit widens the Solstice a full 4 inches in the front and 5 inches in the rear allowing the use of ultra-wide wheels. Better hold your… dogs though cause the Pitbull Edition Solstices will be built in a limited number of units with the fiberglass upgrade costing around $16,000-18,000 (11.700 – 13.200 EUR). Optionally, you can also special order a carbon fibre upgrade. The “Pitbull” Solstice will make its official debut at the 2007 SEMA Show on October 30. -More images after the jump
