The OnStar service standard on the 2006 Solstice includes the General Motors Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) system, making crash data available to the participating 911 centers to help them dispatch the appropriate live-saving personnel and equipment to crash scenes faster.

What does "OnStar service standard on the 2006 Solstice..." mean? OnStar is not standard, it's an option, correct?
Does anyone know if there's any way to get a first 1,000 Solstice equipped with OnStar? I have a first 1,000 but I was really hoping to be able to get it with OnStar to be able to use the cell phone functionality.
I think what they mean is that if you get the OnStar option it comes with the standard service, which is just emergency notification and roadside assistance (as well as cell phone for a charge). It is know as the "Safe and Sound" plan. There is a higher plan that gives you directions and concierge services that comes standard on the Cadillac models with OnStar but is available for an additional fee on other brands.
I agree though, if they stated it the way you quoted it, it is a little confusing!
If GM/OnStar continue their current policy when it becomes standard on the Solstice, the first year of the Safe & Sound package will be included. After the first year you will have to pay a fee to continue the service.
It's not a fortune, but I'm a bit of a tightwad, so I'm not sure that I'd renew the service if I were to buy a vehicle that came loaded with OnStar. I've made it through life so far okay without OnStar, know what I mean?

I almost agree. I like many of the features that is has... But mostly, because my car club likes to run the canyons, I think I'll keep the service. If I crash (which I have in the past) durring one of these runs, I want to be sure that someone knows.
WTF?!?!?! So we're going to be paying for the equipment (built into the base price of the car) even if we intend on removing it, beating it with a baseball bat, microwaving it, boiling it in oil, and mailing it back to GM with a hate letter?

Hopefully there will be a delete option, with a credit. :brentil:
