People say that who don’t t know the lineage of GM. Buick is top of the line and on par with Cadillac. Oldsmobile would be next then Chevy and pontiac come next. Chevy and Pontiac were performance driven whereas the other 3 where more drive ability and comfort.

I mean the guy who styles all of Tesla cars now designed the Solstice. It's an awesome design that launched right before the great recession hit. Unfortunate timing for a wonderful car.
Exactly! Felt better when I drive something with a lot of hate but different than going with the flow and buy mainstream crap just because people like it, it's like living for people complacent
Fun fact about the Solstice/SKY the engine bay was actually designed to have an LS3, but when GM saw the power to weight ratio they decided it was to crazy, so they switched it to a 4 banger, but the LS3 still fits like a glove.
@@FitmentIndustries I have not, sadly I haven't gotten the opportunity. But a friend of mine did, And he was actually able to take down my Grand national with it. Which wasn't a slouch as I had 540 horsepower to the wheels.
@@FitmentIndustries It has been done, A LOT though. the Mallet Solstice is an aftermarket package for exactly this. Its basically a Shelby cobra with GM flavor, and air conditioning (sometimes)
I own a 2008 Saturn Sky Redline and I constantly have people asking me what it is. I did a simple tune to it, and personally I think it's super fun to drive with the top down.
The guy roasting has obviously never driven in a tuned Sky or Solstice, nor would he probably fit into one. It's like bad mouthing food you’ve never tasted. Price to fun ratio, the Sky Redline & Solstice GXP, that's the Turbo versions, can't be beat.
Yeah jazz was dope, but after owning one it really killed my ability to take the movie seriously because of how wildly inaccurate it is that the car went the whole span of the movie and didn't break down once.
@@bart9591 in the sense that it's a coupe yea. Line them up side by side and hell na. Plus what should it matter. 04s had ls1 and 05 and 06 had an ls2.
Same as a Saturn Sky / Opel GT (Europe) full length hydroformed frame rails. Super rigid chassis, great for an LS swap. Basically you'd have a poor mans Corvette. Stop the hate these are great little cars! 😁
A lot of people swap in Supra motors too -- since the 2JZ bolts right up to the Aisin 5 speed manual in the Solstice/Sky really easy. The Kappa cars are totally underrrated, awesome roadsters.
I own a Saturn Sky, and I adore it. I do think it’s better then the Solistice in design & interior. But the community is very passionate, any person I know that owns these cars loves them dearly. This was pretty painful to watch with all the hate towards it.
As a Pontiac Solstice Owner and Enthusiast who was using Fitment Industries to research all the mods I am looking forward to adding, I don't understand the point of this Video. If it is too attempt shame and piss off a potential customer, good job, but WHY would you want to do that?!! I can't see the upside to this Video at all.
The sax is a nice touch 😂 I own an 08 GXP and make no apologies for it. It’s a really fun car to own and drive. If that featured car’s a reflection of the owner, I’d say there’s some insecurities there. Should own it, love it, and absorb the hate to fuel you!
the wheels on these are 5x110 I know the pain of not being able to find good wheels without redrilling, adapters, or hub swaps....its GM and their "compact car bolt patterns"
I bought a solstice and tuned it to make 350 hp and honestly I regret nothing. It’s light on its feet with a surprising amount of power. Holds its own in whatever race you put it in, drag, touge, track, doesn’t matter it rips.
Own a 07 GXP and have never had an issue with it, but then again I got only 39,500 miles on it and I don’t blow it up with unnecessary shit like this guy did 😂
Yeah sorry man.....Imma have to hit a STRONG disagree on that one. And for one reason only, the solstice GXP's are unreliable as all hell. They are a nightmare to actually own. I had one for a while, and it hurt. Like, now it's a neat car arguably, it had some merits, but the unreliability and absurd repair costs are not worth it, not when a Miata exists. Now if you plan to replace most of the solstices parts from OEM anyway, well then, I guess it doesn't matter as much, but stock to stock, it's no contest lmao.
I just want to let everyone know coming from a Taco Bell employee here are all the items that we got rid of. Spicy Tostadas All potato products (only sell at breakfast time) All of Qeusorito's Grilled Cheese Burrito Loaded Grillers Frito Burritos (Never coming back) Steak soft taco 7 layer burrito Nacho's supreme
The Pontiac Solstice is proof that America could design a great European style roadster. But just like all small sports cars, they were not designed for fat asses.
Parker Fuller then why u did not defend your decision ? Look like he roasted you on your decision? No any decision will be perfect some time it works some time it’s not. That’s how we learn.
That was a good laugh, but if you don’t want a cookie cutter vehicle like everyone else is driving then...my solstice is better than your cookie...get a rare car and learn how to do things to it. There is plenty...if you have skill...that you can do to mod it. Fun video guys.
Signs of an unhealthy relationship: your man always calls you ugly, insults you daily, yet always buys you things, fixes you up, and dumbs money into your looks.
I have seen stanced solstice’s , they are pretty sweet looking. It’s like getting a Miata if you’re to too tall of fat to fit in one , you’d get a solstice or (even worse) the sky
I don't understand if you really like something why you are afraid of buying and having a fear that it cost more on maintenance. liking is priceless.....
I've owned an 82 Z28 Indy 500, 300Z, 350Z, Starion turbo, 5.0 Stang, suped up Grand Torino, and two vettes in my lifetime. My 07 Solstice GXP gets the most positive reactions from total strangers by far. Just sayin.
Can we get info on who made his custom top. Working on project and need a carbon fiber fabricator. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the vid!
@@FitmentIndustries 2004 Pontiac Grand Am GT😭😭 the “sports car” with the engine from the ugliest minivan ever aka the Aztek😭😭 on top of that it’s beat up BUT not as bad as most Grand Ams out there🤔
RIP Pontiac Solstice owner but I think it's a nice car. I probably won't be able to fit into one 'cause I am kind of too tall at 6'4 1/2 weighing about 170lbs.

Trent Stuckey yea while live possible .... but you can tell it’s just a picture of the wheel wall upon close inspection... there is a wheel wall just not permanent in this video ...
That color of that car is: please don’t realize it’s a Pontiac solstice black. I respect the fact that instead of pulling the plug on the POS he actually made it into a fast and fun car? Wait I was writing this as I was watching and there’s only like 20k miles on the car?!?!? and he already blew a motor and a turbo!?!?!? Bro just buy a different car.

and also you're 100% right :(
Fact, I thought they would do a GTO version but nope.

Changed the engine, didn't LS swap it. hm - Ima call that a missed opportunity right there doncha know...
LS swapped solstice would be a dream
Especially since it was supposed to have a V8 to begin with. SBC would probably fit better, but yeah...
The teuro is the v8 corvette engine that competes with corvette. IT'S the very last solctice.
Poor weight ballance, and I make more HP than the LS1. About the same as a LS2 but with much less weight, and then LS3 and up gets way to expensive.
