Pontiac Soltice – New Car Quote – Review and Solstice Picture

Pontiac Solstice – or Soltice

I have never been much of a fan of Pontiac, at least not in the sense of actually buying one of them. As a auto repair shop owner I loved them, because of their poor workmanship and recurring mechanical breakdowns. But…just on looks ALONE, the all new Pontiac Solstice is something that I would definitly take a closer look at buying.

I am not quite at the age where most men buy a Corvette, but this Pontiac Soltice might make a few would be Vette buyers think twice. I do however live in Houston, and we LOVE our big SUV’s and trucks. This car is small, and I don’t think I would like being in such a small car on the road with these other big vehicles.

A friend of mine has a Mazda Miata, and one ride in that little thing on our highways was enough for me.

I really do not know much about these engines, or how well the maintenance records will be for these cars, but they sure look cool!!! Let me know your thoughts on this vehicle.

“I’m glad to see that Pontiac put out such a great product. If you get a chance to drive one, if you haven’t already, you will see that it has a lot of power even when taking off and it’s a great ride. All four of my Children love it. I bet the Turbo is going to be great” Victor- NJ
