Vehicle Description
No one knew it at the time, but when this first-year 2006 Pontiac
Solstice roadster came on the scene, it would be the beginning of
the last great Pontiac. So when you can find one today in a
fantastic factory triple-black, you know this is the most
affordable and desirable future classic around.
Pontiac has always been about striving for thoughtful sports cars
in the GM lineup, and that reached its pinnacle with the Solstice.
Aiming to be a lighter and more nimble companion to the Corvette,
the Solstice has all the great performance design cues we all love
� the long hood, scalloped fenders, sleek profile, and short rear
deck. Plus, Pontiac was really doing a great job with their styling
of the twin grille that was dangerously BMW-like, the chrome
windshield surround that paid tribute to their best muscle cars,
and everyone loves the dual buttresses that meet the headrests. All
of this is straight from the factory, just like glossy black paint
and the 18-inch alloy wheel.
Collectors will love how the interior is just as factory-spec as
the exterior. And yes, the black leather means you get the coveted
triple-black (factory black paint, folding top, and interior.) The
supportive bucket seats highlight a cockpit that's built around the
driver. There are signs of use, but this is far from a daily driver
appliance. The three-spoke sports steering wheel has all the modern
controls you could want. Beyond that is a handsome set of analog
gauges that light up red when you turn the key. This is loaded with
all the right features, including power windows, dual air bags,
cruise control, a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input,
and air conditioning.
Under the hood is the original 2.4-liter fuel-injected motor.
Unmodified and maintained properly all its life means its
reliability is uncompromised. This peppy and powerful DOHC motor
was chosen to be the answer to those who thought the Corvette
needed to ditch old pushrod technology. In this lightweight setup,
the Solstice delivers the kind of performance you'd expect in a
Japanese or European import but wrapped in American styling. This
sporty spirit is felt every time you hit the open the road. The
five-speed manual provides complete control, and the fully
independent suspension loves every corner. Add in great anytime
features such as power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, and
this is an unbeatable driving package.
Complete with the owner's manual and original bill of sale, this
Solstice is a blast to drive today and a great classic to have for
tomorrow. Offering all of this at such an affordable price means it
will be leaving us soon. Call today!!!
