I'm new to the site so I'm not sure if everyone already knows this but the Solstice is set to go into production on March 17th of 05 and should be in show rooms by mid to late May.
So if you pre-order a solstice you are able to have the car specially designed for you? Could you elaborate on that please? Thanks!brentil said:A much earlier release date would be great, however for me at the same time kinda sucks. I was hoping for it to be a little later,, like June or later to give me some more time to save for a down payment. Because if the Solstice is what I decide to go with once Sky information is released I wanted to pre-order and have my Solstice specifically designed for me.
I guess you mean you can have optioned out the way you want it? The base car will be the same for everyone.brentil said:I wanted to pre-order and have my Solstice specifically designed for me.
Thanks man! Would you be able to find out where the cup holders are, whether there will be an option for fabric (non-leather) seating, and whether there will be power windows? Thanks a lot man!wearssuspenders said:give me some questions and I'll see if I can get them answered but it probably wont be until Tuesday.

wearssupenders, the info I'd like to know most that we haven't yet been able to find is the available color selection. More specifically, will there be a burgundy or a dark blue offered?wearssuspenders said:give me some questions and I'll see if I can get them answered but it probably wont be until Tuesday.

Yeah, what Chip said is what having it specifically designed for me means. I get to choose exactly what options I want. You don't have to go to lots and hunt in hopes of finding the optiosn you want, with the colors you want, etc. What you do is get on a waiting list at a dealer. Have them sign a contract with you saying you get to decide options when they get the ability too, and that you'll get teh car for MSRP (or if you're a good talker invoice, or somewhere between invoice and MSRP). You get them to give you a # in line saying you get to order yours as the first person, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Make sure it's signed by the store manager, and yourself so they can't try to cheat you. So then like 3 months before they're in dealer lots, the dealer calls you, you choose options and order it. When it's made you get your VIN #, then you take delivery when it's finally done.daddyking said:So if you pre-order a solstice you are able to have the car specially designed for you?
