it would seem a two part hinged panel would solve this issue and be stowed in the back, might cost a fraction more. Easy fix that would have helped sales. Gm needs help in the RD, perhaps hire a few kids that are really good with Lego.
I was thinking that also they named this wrong. Gm comes back with the Camaro, but NO FIREBIRD? This Camaro is really just a GTO/G8 reskined i think? If you look back at the roots of the Firbird back in its concept days you will see a two seater roadster, with humps and a bit on the George Jettsons side. THe Sol could have been marketed as the NEW Firebird since it really reflects the root of that car. THis would have gave it a Name appeal. many people have no idea a Sol from an S2000. For a first time they would have something very new for pontiac with a name many would remember. i bet sales would be 4x more just with "Firebird".
that would cost RD nothing, two simple things to do..
think about a T/A version of this turbo v6 screaming chicken on the hood with400hp 1000 pounds lighter than a mustang/camaro. the sole is almost like an A/C cobra as well if it had v8. So many possible choices.
