Alfadog Posted January 8, 2002 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2002 This is the new prototype Pontiac Solstice Coupe, but to me it smells of 240Z...<img src="http://209.132.49.149/images-large/2002_pontiac_solstice_coupe-3.jpg" width="400" height = "250">Especially take note of the window shape, and the tail lights which reek 350Z. That subtle hump over the rear quarter is absolutely Z too. They've even got the chopped off back end just like the original.What is your opinion?

Dan Baldwin Posted January 11, 2002 Share #2 Posted January 11, 2002 Pontiac is about 1000 times more likely to get my business than Nissan, IF they build it. Man, looks like Lutz is already paying off for GM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce Posted January 11, 2002 Share #3 Posted January 11, 2002 So far I like it better than the pictures I have seen of the 350Z. Although, when the first new Z passes me on the highway I may change my opinion.Speaking of new cars, just saw a new T-Bird on the road.(sorry I know this is not Z related) Didn't like it as much as in pictures.

pparaska Posted January 12, 2002 Share #4 Posted January 12, 2002 I like it better than the 350Z. Kind of reminds me of the Cheetah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24OZ Posted January 13, 2002 Share #6 Posted January 13, 2002 I do like it and yes it does look very 240Z like. Well there has been un uptake of retro vehicles of late. For instance the new BMW mini, the new VW Beetle, the Chrysler's Cunningham and PT Cruiser but to me the 350Z looks more futuristic then retro. At first I wasn't quite sure. I would have much prefered a revival of the 240Z shape, but then again Nissan done that with the 280ZX. Its good I suppose that the company is being creative and innovative with its designs and looking to the future. The 350Z has grown on me, I actually really like it now and look forward to seeing them on the roads. Just my 0.2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZSource Posted January 24, 2002 Share #7 Posted January 24, 2002 There was a kit car back in the 1980s known as the Phantom that had lines a lot like the coupe version of this Pontiac concept car. Just the same, I hope they build it. I'd have a hard time deciding between the convertible and the coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
