Don't let the dealer inventory reports fool you; despite a 234-day stock on Solstices, Pontiac's two-seat droptop is the still the top-selling roadster in the country. As the Solstice juggernaut lumbers on, Pontiac is broadening its appeal with the addition of the Solstice Coupe. More than just a hardtop version of the roadster, the Coupe features a magnesium-framed roof panel than can be removed at will, making the Coupe into a targa-top.

Because the change to a coupe body style resulted in only a slight increase in curb weight, no drivetrain or suspension changes were necessary to shift from the convertible body structure. What this means is the the Coupe - which will be available in naturally-aspirated base or turbocharged GXP trim - is expected to match the roadster number for number for performance.
