Vehicle Summary

Pontiac's answer to the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the Solstice went on sale for 2006 and was followed up by a turbocharged GXP version last year. A healthy list of changes for 2008 include several features that are now standard on both models: a CD stereo with an MP3 player input, a tire pressure monitoring system, and OnStar and XM Satellite Radio, both of which come with free service for a limited period.
