The requirements from the government loans to General Motors are brutal, forcing General Motors to rid itself of the poor performing brands of Saturn, Hummer, Saab, and Pontiac. Among the great Pontiac cars, are the big GTO and Trans Am muscle cars, made famous in many movie car chase scene.  Who can ever forget the movies Smokey and the BanditorTwo Lane Blacktop with a raging GTO?  The Pontiac Solstice is now on the block to be cut. Despite being the shining star of the Pontiac lineup, the Solstice can not preserve the Pontiac name badge by itself. The eliminate of the Pontiac Solstice effects not only the entire assembly, but also those business which also sell after market parts.

Convertible owners are enthusiast about their car, and sharing their love for it. The Pontiac Solstice shot out of the gate with great press, positive automotive coverage, and buyers lining up with cash. As quick as the announcmenet of the end of Pontiac came, the online community responded to save the Solstice (see SaveTheKappa). The website quickly sprang into action, calling Solstice owners into action to help save their beloved car.  Although brand new, fans are already flocking to this website, and activity will certainly pick up as the Solstice’s demise becomes near.

Unfortunately, it’s simply too early to tell what might happen. There are still a lot of gyrations left to play out in this complex business drama.  As far as the Pontiac Solstice itself, it’s fate is still unknown. While General Motors plans to put an end to Pontiac, there is an outside chance profitable product lines could live on. This would be an enormous relief for the fans, the workers, and the businesses (such as the Pontiac Solstice windscreen / windblocker / wind deflector) that support this wildly popular car. Even though the future of the Solstice is unknown, one can be sure this car will always have an active legion of fans.
