This was mentioned in the "2009 Initial Changes" thread, but now that offical information is out, it gets it's own thread.



Looks like it will be Brazen's turn for a special model to start 2009.

This week's GM AutoBook update is now showing a new model for 2009, the (2MK67) Solstice Street Edition. It appears to be along the same lines as the 2008 SCCA special championship editions. A fully loaded one color car.

Some of the information in the AutoBook listing:

-Brazen with Darkside Top

-Black Accent Stripe

-Black Bezel Treatment Headlamps

-Black Grilles

-18" Polished Aluminum Split Spoke Wheels

-Performance Suspension with Adjustible Valve Monotube Shoock Absorbers

-Brushed Aluminum Sill Plates (subject to verification)

-Ebony Leather Trim with Orange Accent Stiching on Seatback, Steering Wheel and Shifter

-2.4L Engine

-Only option is Rear Spoiler and choice of Transmission

More information when it becomes available.



UPDATE:
AaronWV has a post with a photo album that includes pictures of the Street Edition and it's specific wheels. Picasa Web Albums - Aaron - GM Official S...


Each car with get a unique VIN. Ordering will start this month and production will start in mid-August. Expected to run for 3 months and 500 units.

Base Price is $29,310 with manual transmission, and $30,305 with automatic transmission. The only option , the spoiler is $275.



windface or myself will watch for part numbers for the Black Grilles, Black Headlamp Bezels and Wheels as information becomes available.

Would it be too much to ask for someone to keep an eye on a part number for those wheels as well?

The PDF "Hero Card" calls the Street Edition suspension "Z0K racing-inspired".

The order guide shows the Street Edition has the same shocks as the Base Solstice with the Z0K package and the Solstice GXP .

I swear I just saw the Street Edition parked inside GM's Ren Cen just this weekend when I was there...

29k... Not too bad... If I hadn't already set my sights on the Solstice Coupe, I'd probably consider this... But I want the LNF so I guess I gotta get a Coupe GXP then...

I'm sorry, but 29,000 for a n/a with add-ons. What happened to the affordable roadster concept of just a few years ago.

I was going to but I was unsure if it was going to fit.

Small Dealer told me the grill for the Street Edition would for sure since it's just a slightly modified NA.
