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.

2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe Revealed Live In New York
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 » -

2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe Brings Transformer Back To Life
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 »
