Pontiac has taken what customers love about the popular and powerful Solstice roadster and upgraded it for 2008 with new technologies and many standard and optional features. With two Ecotec compact powerplants and a choice between a standard Aisin 5-speed close-ratio manual transmission and an optional 5-speed automatic, the Solstice and Solstice GXP are true roadsters. The standard Solstice features a 177 horsepower engine while the high-performance GXP has a turbocharged 2.0-liter under the hood that kicks out 260 horsepower.
