    Dammit, I'd much rather see a Solstice, or a DeLorean, than a fucking Fisker. We are going to look back at this era of $100k taxpayer-funded, luxury, electric sports cars and shake our heads in wonder.

    @therealmusashi: To my knowledge neither the Tesla Model S nor the Fisker Karma is taxpayer-funded. The loans which arose from this Bush 43-era program are for their supposedly cheaper follow-on Model S and Project NINA sedans.

    "Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 establishes an incentive program consisting of both grants and direct loans to support the development of advanced technology vehicles and associated components in the United States." #deloreanmotorcompany

    @skierpage: Virtually everything ever handed out by the government, is taxpayer-funded.

    It's also interesting that the lawmakers who crafted the bill didn't think to include a "This program should be suspended as unrealistic if we're in a dire economic situation with crazy-high unemployment, failing banks, etc."

    Quoting law doesn't make it any less stupid. #deloreanmotorcompany

    @therealmusashi: Most economists would say that a dire economic situation is exactly the time when you need taxpayer-funded stimulus programs. This one should put people to work in the USA getting advanced technology automobiles into production. #deloreanmotorcompany

    Its improbable, but possible. It'd be great to see Solstices keep on being built as there is definitely a niche for them in the marketplace.

    It would be a shame to see that car go to waste. #deloreanmotorcompany

    Yeah, the tooling's paid for, but would signing a whole batch of new OEM and material supply contracts make sense for 2.5 years of production of something that will sell less than 10K per year? I doubt it. Good night, Solstice. #deloreanmotorcompany

    Move the tooling to Ireland, the world needs more Irish cars. I mean, it worked before, right?

    Save the Solstices!

    Maybe we should be planning to stage an intervention on December 21?

    Although killing off a decent platform that's finally been sorted, yet improperly understood and incompetently marketed, is what GM's always been best at. #deloreanmotorcompany

    Jesus, yes. Especially since that god-awful front end has been redesigned. Give it some more angles, and make the tail lights less teardroppy, and we've got a winner. I realize it's supposed to be a Solstice first, and a DeLorean second, but come onnnnnn.

    The concept drawing isn't the best, but I like the way it evokes the old purposeful roadsters like the TR6 - say what you will, I loved that little rascal's proportions.

    So, DMC with more than one product? That's not a bad thing. Maybe they could whistle up enough revenue to introduce a new DMC-12.

    ugh shoulda used a Sky instead. Despite being the original the Solstice always looked awful compared to the Sky/GT

    I have two bags. One is full of cash and the other contains my interest in this prospect. Both are large.

    Please advise.

    While I don't see much hope that this deal would happen, I do like the idea of the Solstice living on Avanti-style into the future.

    @Pessimippopotamus: Upon further review, my comment may have been a bit harsh. Tastes are subjective. Agree to disagree and all that...

    I've always liked the coke bottle styling and uniqueness of the original Loewy design. It's not beauty on the level of a Pininfarina Ferrari, but a beauty nonetheless.
