Pontiac goes retro with the 2009 Pontiac Solstice coupe, unveiled at the recently concluded New York Auto Show.
With sleek lines and a targa-topped roof, the two-seater coupe took design cues from the Solstice coupe concept exhibited at the same show eight years ago.
The removable roof is made of magnesium and weighs just 14.2 kg (or 31 lbs). Like its convertible sibling, the Solstice coupe is powered by a 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine delivering 173hp, while the GXP version gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged Ecotec with 260hp.
The interiors also get the same treatment as the convertible, except for minor tweaks in design made to the area behind the seats for easy access to the cargo area.
