It took the better part of a decade, a couple hundred million bucks, and probably a few bags full of smashed bureaucratic skulls, but here it is: a modern, self-made, low-priced, freshly-engineered, rear-wheel-drive sports car from General Motors. This would normally be cue to whip out your calculator to keep track of the contradictions and impossibilities in that statement, but it's true: working under the same roof as the guys who have been hired to glue Saab badges onto Chevrolet TrailBlazers exists at least a few who actually care about cars.Starting life as some sort of automotive Frankenstein put together from an amalgam of parts from a Cavalier, Pontiac Grand Am, Subaru Impreza, etc., the original Solstice was a somewhat confused concept, but its killer looks gave it enough magnetism to justify production. Luckily, only the looks carried through the years - incredibly faithfully, by production car standards - while the interim provided time to create the "Kappa" platform it rides on, replete with double-wishbone suspensions, the best version of GM's 4-cylinder Ecotec engine, and Corvette-like hydroformed construction. Best yet, the promise of a "less than $20,000" sticker came true.No doubt, the Solstice is destined for low volumes and puny profits. And status as the most important car GM has created in decades.
