Pontiac needs the Solstice if for no other reason than to pretend to be the Performance division.

It was expected to be a money loser before the first car rolled off the line, and GM accepted that. Lutz had made comments something to the effect that the kappas would be better for marketing than a typical advertising campaign, and would cost no more than that per year (250 million range).
I'd guess that any plans to move it to another rwd platform appear dead, and if it has a future it will be on a second generation kappa platform.
