for you GM experts, i cannot find good pics of the car besides the one i saw in the GM stockholder report (section showing the rear of the solstice, nomad, saturn curve etc.), do you think that the Lightning will be the same as the solstice, except for the body.

i ask because my theory is that the body panels (fender, hood, well almost everything exterior-wise) will fit on the solstice, although expensive, this would be a pretty cool convesion to make considering the Lighning looks real sharp from what i've seen.

I believe the Lightning was only a concept. At the detroit auto show, I was told that there were no plans to produce it.

Vauxhall (European GM). Right now is only a concept, some kind of problems with European car-pedestrian laws.

They have the most pictures of the VX in one place. The only draw back is a lot of pop-ups.

WOW...that would be big win for Saturn. Hope it doesn't steal too many Pontiac buyers.

I heard the European laws on pedestrian safey nixed Vauxhall until they can work through the issues.

if that is true that would be great for saturn, they really need a car to bring in people and change their image. However i doubt that it will take to many from the solstice since i believe the lightning was in the mid 30's, more of a s2000 competitor.

Agree on the S2000 (GM also wants to target higher HP versions of Solstice against them too).

it would be nice if the lightning was in the low 20's so that i would have two options next year.....the back and side of the lightning are awesome...but i like the front of the solstice much better

i think it would be awesome if fenders etc. would be possibly interchangeable (even with some minor modifications). it looks to me as though the lines were pretty much the same when i was looking at a GM stockholders brochure

i hope ye speaketh the truth, although, i would hope to see the solstice sooner than expected, then the badass big brother of the solstice (higher hp version) will be closer to my grasp
