PONTIAC SOLSTICE

When Pontiac introduced the Fiero in 1984 there was disagreement within GM as to whether it should be a sports car or an economy commuter. The public expected it to be a affordable sports car but its underpinnings didn't deliver sports car handling. By the time things improved sales had fallen to the point where it was no longer viable to continue production.  In 2006, Pontiac tried again with the seductive Solstice. They got it pretty much right this time but then GM went bankrupt and had to appease their new masters by letting the sun set on the old Indian chief.
