| Contrà´le technique |
The Pontiac Solstice, the sibling to Saturn’s sleek Sky roadster, is available in two main versions for 2009: base and GXP. Both trims are also now available in a stylish new coupe body style.
The Solstice comes standard with a 2.4-liter, 177-horsepower inline four-cylinder. The high-performance GXP model features a 260-horsepower turbocharged direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, but a firmer suspension setting, GXP-specific 18-inch wheels with high-performance tires, and GM’s StabiliTrak stability control system give it well-rounded performance credentials. On both models, a five-speed manual transmission is standard, a five-speed automatic optional. Both Solstice models have rear-wheel drive.
