Solstice GXP in Los Angeles
GM's Mark LaNeve introduces the new 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

As you know, the Pontiac Solstice is near and dear to my heart, as I know it is to many of yours… This week at the Los Angeles Auto Show we introduced a performance variant that’s sure to get all of our hearts pumping.
The 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP should more than answer any critics who found the standard Solstice lacking in power and punch — however misguided their complaints may have been! The GXP version is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo direct injection four that makes a quite enjoyable 260 horsepower (here’s where I’m forced to add the word “estimated” because the final numbers aren’t in yet — but that’s right in the ballpark), which is nearly 50 percent more than the current Solstice. Talk about having your cake and eating it too.
Stability control, anti-lock brakes, power windows/locks/mirrors and a sports-tuned suspension are all standard equipment on GXP models. All for just about $4,000 to $5,000 more than the $20,490 that can put you in the base model—we won’t officially price it until closer to its on-sale date this summer.
