PONTIAC ANNOUNCES SOLSTICE GXP PRICING . . . At the height of the summer solstice, Pontiac today announced that the turbocharged 2007 Solstice GXP will carry an MSRP of $25,995, including a $600 destination charge. The 260-horsepower roadster arrives in Pontiac dealerships this fall. Powered by GM’s new direct injection, turbocharged 2.0-liter Ecotec engine, the Solstice GXP adds a 47 percent boost of power to augment the road-gripping performance and seductive styling already available in the base model roadster. “The passion customers have for the Solstice continues to amaze us and we have been sold out of the 2006 models for the past couple of months,” said Mark-Hans Richer, Pontiac marketing director. “There’s already a waiting list for the 2007 models, so we believe the GXP will only extend the Solstice’s position as the top-selling roadster in the U.S.”
DID YOU KNOW? . . . Model-year-to-date through May, Pontiac has sold 15,145 Solstices, outselling the closest competitor in the segment by more than 2,600 units. Solstice remains one of the industry’s hottest-selling cars, contributing to a 20 percent increase in Pontiac showroom traffic since the beginning of the year and double-digit percent sales gains in key coastal markets.
