Didn't know that. I like the Solstice and it's sister the Sky. We have a Solstice at school, I've seen it completely torn apart and they are built very nicely underneath the body. Engine is a little anemic however. Our 'Program' car at school has a 504/Tremac 5 speed in it. I drove it on the test pad. It's a hoot. It's a tire incenerator....Rubba in every gear.
They will keep it for 2 years and then junk it, excuse me, shred it. Of course the motor, tranny and rear end will come out along with the electronics, wheels and tires...then off to the shredder. 3 weeks ago I got to take the forklift and run the forks right through the side of a Yuke Denali...was heading to the shredder too. Sheet metal just don't stand up to a 10,000 pound Hyster.
