Some had shipped their cars in from across the country for the chance to be in the film. One group, the Solstice guys, had an impromptu meeting …

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.
