I took these this morning at the plant. This mule was parked in the front lot.

These were in the side yard.

Out back in the storage lot.

I know most of you have seen some of these pictures, but thought it would be nice to post them together. I asked a guy on a cart in the back lot when they were releasing them and he said 2 weeks.

nice pics, thanks, that is a good looking car.

Still don't like the looks of the top where it snaps on at the back. It appears kind of sloppy in its fit. On the Pontiac website the top appears to be nice and tight and has a good seal. Hope when they get to the showrooms the fit is first-rate and the top is smooth.

He said that those were still pictures of a test mule. I agree with you in that I do not like it, but I am hoping that on the production version they will be able to eliminate it or at least mostly. I understand that it is hard, but I would think that it is possible, but maybe not.

Anybody notice there doesn't seem to be a sly one in the bunch????

You can't see the cars real close that are in the lines, but from this distance the top looks good to me.

Anything with a bra is a test car. Looks like a bunch of them still on the lot.

From a distance it looks like the cars in the storage area have much smoother lines as far as the top goes.
Shipping in 2 weeks... I like the sound of that.
Come'on Aug. 1st !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know these reports are all exciting, but has anyone compared today's pictures (7-14-05) with those taken by "The Mayor" on July 9th before "production" started? The Mayor 7-9-05

 

[Gopherman]

Gee...Looks like the same cars, parked in the same place :brentil:

GM, kindly move the cars around a little so we can feel the progress :thumbs:

Thanks and forever yours...

I thought those cars had been sitting there for a bit...

...they HAVE to be production. Why would GM make a whole parking lot of test mules in every color at this point in the production just to end up destroying all of them?

 

[Small Dealer]

I have never really belived that GM will be "crushing" all/most/many/any of the 425+ Solstices they have built since March. Yes some will be lost to testing and assemble/disassemble audits, but most will live on.

Oh, that explains it. Training bras. :lol:

lol

Don't know if you all here are aware of it, but the upcoming Mazda MX-5 also has some problems with the top. Check at the top corner of the window.

Remember all the fit issues....they probably have been working hard to correct all of the last minute issues, make a change run some tests, check it out...that kind of thing. All of that produces more test cars.
