News of Fisker buying GM's shuttered Wilmington Assembly plant is good news for Fisker, but bad news for the DeLorean Solstice, which the new DeLorean Motor Company hoped to build at the plant. More »

Alongside Vice President Joe Biden, Fisker Automotive executives announced today they'll buy GM's now shuttered Wilmington, Delaware assembly plant to develop "Project NINA," an "affordable, family-oriented plug-in hybrid sedan." So, basically, GM's selling Fisker a factory to develop a Volt-killer. More »

The DeLorean Motor Company is a brand without a car and the Pontiac Solstice is a car without a brand. That leaves the company wondering: if John DeLorean were still alive, would he try to save Pontiac? Or one Pontiac? More »

Yesterday marked the end of production at GM's Delaware assembly plant, the home of the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice roadsters. Fan clubs came to pay their respects, stuffing their tear-soaked tissues into awkwardly-placed cupholders. [SaturnFans] More »

Pontiac will only build 2,000 Pontiac G8 GXPs and Solstice Coupes, ever, Buick/GMC/Pontiac marketing chief Cheryl Catton just informed us. She also called them potential "collector items." Time to get to the Pontiac dealership while those still exist. More »

The 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP is the final, ultimate Pontiac. The 2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP is neither. More »

GM CEO Fritz Henderson just told journalists the Pontiac Vibe and Solstice will not live on at other brands. Also, he's gonna have to talk with Toyota about what they're gonna do with NUMMI. More »

We were wandering around downtown Detroit this weekend and ducked into GM's Renaissance Center to warm up only to find they left a gift-wrapped Pontiac Solstice under the tree. More »

Despite the rumored demise of the Kappa platform, and no official announcement on the topic, it appears from these amateur photos the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe have begun to roll off the Wilmington, Delaware assembly line. We can't say whether these are production-intent cars filling the pipeline to dealers or early builds destined for fleet evaluation, but the little coupe is certainly there, in all its glory. More »

We got a peek at the Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe concept at the New York Auto Show, but with the death of the Kappa platform basically a done deal we didn't think we'd see much more of it. It appears GM Performance Parts still likes the idea of a closed Solstice, though, and they're bringing their version of a GXP Coupe to the SEMA show this week. More »

You know what they Nick Hogan says about a yellow car. Well apparently GM thinks it's true; earlier we showed you a 2010 Camaro caught in yellow, and now we have footage of the 2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe driving around in a similar visually scalding hue. We'd rather have the slick little turbocharged 260 HP coupe in a more understated Liquid Silver Metallic, but then we're probably not trolling for the same type of ladies as the Viper-drifting, Supra-crashing Hogan.

We saw it in the flesh a couple weeks ago and were sworn to secrecy, we revealed the explosion of pics and press release at midnight today, but now we've got live and in the flesh shots of the 2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe. The targa-topped coupe sure is sleek in its fine new enclosed coupe styling, and there was a bit of the swoon on in the room when it was unveiled. The coupe gets the same Ecotec powertrain options from the original style 2.4L with 173 HP as well as the GXP hoontastic 260 HP 2.0L turbo mill. Its possible we're slightly disappointed GM didn't go all out with T-tops, but beggers can't be choosers. We'll be getting the full compliment of live shots up as soon as we can. More »

You knew him as Jazz before he was so handily destroyed — ripped asunder, really — by Megatron. You also knew him as the Pontiac Solstice. But that never quite fit, did it — because he wasn't a convertible in the movie. Well, now he's been truly revealed as a production model, and most importantly as a coupe — the 2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe to be exact. Yes, that's right, the absolutely gorgeous alt-mode of the Autobot recon man's been brought back to live in a fully production targa-topped coupe — and what else can we say other than we're having a very private robogasm right now — especially over the lines of this sleek little two-seater. Full press release after the jump. More »

We've heard the harder-than-a-rock-topped 2009 Pontiac Solstice Targa will be coming to the New York Auto Show later this month. Frankly, everyone's heard the new hard-top from Pontiac that sorta drops would be coming to New York. And although we'd like to tell you more, we just can't. Look, although it's not in our nature to be mysterious, we can't talk about it, and we can't talk about why. So just leave it at that. Oh, you want to know more? More »

Who says the Germans are always hung up on Bruce? Sure, the press release we just received from German tuning house Irmscher says "Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail" at the bottom; but the body of the message has an entirely different tone. Forget the standard weaksauce Ecotec 4-pot; it seems the German hordes have realized they coulda had a V8 in their Opel GT. So Irmscher is releasing their version of the wee little roadster made off the same assembly line as our Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice with a 480 PS (473 HP) 6.0-liter V8 of unspecified origin. We're sure the German Green Party will totally be happy. Full press release with all the hilarious German-English translation errors — like "V8 Power to be enjoyed" — after the jump. We're just going to sit here and dream of a V8 crammed between the rails of a Saturn Sky. Don't mind us. More »

The folks at GM have just put out what we're to expect from the big automaker from Detroit at this year's SEMA show at the end of the month. For starters, there's the Pontiac Solstice SD-290 concept racer up top, that's certainly pretty looking from this Goodyear-like vantage point. In addition to the above concept that's building some excitement in our pants, they're also going to have the chinned one's not-as-exciting E85-powered Corvette Z06, a GMC Sierra "all-terrain concept," Hummer's "racing-inspired H3R" and an "adventure-seeking H2 Safari" and many more. Full release from the General below the jump with all of their big brand action. More »
