Autoblog is reporting the Solstice Targa may be seen in NewYork at the Autoshow.

Production is set to start January 2009 and they expect 10,000 units.

Yup, I'm looking forward to seeing it. That is if I can tear my eyes away from the G8 ST long enough to have a look.

sneak peak of the Solstice Targa? I found this on Pontiac's webpage and took a screen shot.

Hopefully it will get better gas mileage than the current Solstice. I think that is the one thing that is killing sales.

Gas mileage isn't hurting sales as much as the complete lack of storage space (who wants a weekend roadster that cannot hold enough clothes for a weekend?) compared to the Miata.

Holy hotness, Batman. Where'd you find that at the site? I've been looking, but haven't been able to find that picture. Help!

:wub::wub:

go to G8.. #2 in the small box

Thanks, loki. It's what I've been hoping for ever since we saw the concept version. Simply gorgeous and hot.

Wow!

That's off the hook!

Looks to have new rims, that is needed. Good Find, very happy to see the first real pic of this car, since I have been waiting since 2002...I hope at the show, we are able to see it with the top on and off.... now I am going to light a candle for the G8 coupe...

I hope it has the updated nose as well.

I am liking what I see. Thank goodness they didn't go with the EDAG bed cap.

Looks great... makes a lot more sense as a hardcore sports car than a delicate wind-in-the-sky roadster that competes against the Miata. It will be safer and more practical, too.

How about a track-ready Solstice Targa GT3 with a semi-roll cage, Portiasche?

Hmmmm, I saw a lot of them in Delaware, last time I was there. I wonder why? :AH-HA_wink: I even saw Opel GT's on I-95, I thought I was back in the Fatherland, oops, I mean Germany!

They build them there..

Very cool screenshot Lakefire. Thanks for posting that!

The Targa really looks hot. Nice!

Pontiac now has my favorite lineup in the market.

Only Holden does it better, and not by much.

Ohhhhhhh really? :AH-HA_wink:

I'd like to see a closed Opel GT.

Hot. Can't wait to see it in high res.

Very, very hot.

Too bad it comes at the same time as the Camaro, though.

Who needs a Camaro? You're really only buying to prove to PCS that you would anyways, right?

Ya, i'm surprised they let something like this slip. I was trying to dig a little more for some hidden websites but had no luck.

The ST and the GXP had links like this for their images (1 through 5)

I tried replacing the G8 and GXP with Solstice_1.jpg and Targa_1.jpg

PCS doesn't have anything to do with my purchasing decision. :AH-HA_wink: I prolong that discussion because it's just plain old fun to mess with the ol' Sasquatch.

I will say that the sole factors that would keep me out of the Camaro (until it would appear used somewhere later on) and into something else would be a highly bloated MSRP and very retarded dealers (i.e. some of the stories I've heard about the latest gen Mustang when it hit dealers; I remember a guy writing into Car & Driver, bitching about how dealers were restricting test drives to serious customers only, as if it were a frigging Lamborghini; and I've heard another about a dealer who was trying to push only the models he had on the lot, and they were fully-loaded GT models with about a five-thousand "market adjusted price" on top of that, wouldn't even let someone order their own car, which would come in a lot more cheaper).

Looks great. the relatively high shoulderline complement the low roofline. suddenly there's a new sports car in town, and one that can take its hard top off. This will be sweet.

:AH-HA_wink:

It really does look like the original concept coupe in that pic. That's a good thing, as I always thought it looked much hotter than the roadster.

I suspect I will be smelling waffles cooking in Kin TucKY very soon. I will never stop laughing at you if you pu$$y out.

I guess you must be secretly enjoying that Holden, Bigfoot.

By the way, was your syrup by Bob White or Aunt Jamima?

My friend this is just a PEP car, no more, no less. I'm going to enjoy calling you Mrs. Butterworth. :rotflmao:

We need more Solstice pics.

Where is Chris Doane when we need him? :AH-HA_wink:

Doesn't matter. Your attitude a few months ago sounded as if you were dead set on never setting foot near a Holden under any circumstances. Now look on your key rack. What car's keys will be there for next couple of days?

Reaping what you sow, that is how the saying goes. And I believe you have sown a (quite) small waffle plant of your own. Wonder what the harvest will bring? :AH-HA_wink:

As GME infiltrates Holden and it takes more and more control, my issues grow less and less. That statement alone should scare the Hell out of you. I'm going to enjoy watching you squirm Mrs. Butterworth, as you try to retreat and backtrack as to why you won't be able to in fact buy a new Camaro. I'm stocking up on popcorn, I think you're going to make for some great entertainment, as you try to squirm your way out of the Camaro in the months to come.

Ease up, you two.

I want to enjoy these new Pontiacs. :AH-HA_wink:

Oh, and PCS, you can dispose of that HSV at my place whenever you're ready.

Don't forget the title. :AH-HA_wink:

jeeeeez PCS and YJ's bickering is making me hungry! i need some ihop damnit!

I'll leave it at this: I see I might have stricken some sort of nerve with PCS. He, however, fails to because I've grown desensitized to his campaign over his tenure here. And I know there are sane minds within GM that will make whatever effect he and Mr. Forster & Co. has on the Camaro, G8 ST, and the other Zetas slow moving. I don't question the fact that deck is becoming so stacked to the point where they will wind up as artifacts of the better side of GM that will more than likely forever lay dormant, but there are a small handful more of them coming in the near future, so, yes, by all means let's all enjoy the Zeta cars and what show they manage to put on for us during their time among us.

And by the way, PCS, I've had my microwave on the whole time. Mr. Redenbacher makes a mighty good bag, I gotta say. :AH-HA_wink:

Just drop it off with the keys and title, I'll take care of the details. No need to worry yourself about that. :AH-HA_wink:

I don't think there are any waffle House's north of Delaware on the east coast. SuperSport623 lives in New York.

Surely he has traveled outside of his own state at least once in his life.

Well, then again, he doesn't live in KY like I do, so he doesn't have as good as an excuse to get out more often like I do.

ive seen a waffle house once in Virginia....screw that! IHOP!

freakin southerners and your waffle houses!

See? I knew he'd been out of state, PCS.

I really need to re-evaluate what state I live in. When Delaware and KY jelly are sharing Waffle Houses, it's time to move north 1 mile into Pennsylvania, where there's not a waffle House to be seen. Although I heard a rumor there is one or is going to be one in Lancaster or Reading. God help them.
