The text for the GXP description seems to be lifted from another source...

Is that the official Press Release text? If it is, can wikipedia use it legally? -LRW



I haven't heard of the Chevrolet G2X- where is this information comming from? --Tom Dietrich 14:43, 1 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't know. There is however a Daewoo G2X-that could be what that is referencing. I'll change it to the Daewoo. Bok269 13:53, 9 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


The picture that I posted on Wikipedia is a possible image violation. This picture will be deleted on Wikipedia, but a new picture of the Solstice will be posted soon. I owe it to you guys. Sorry. --The Helper S

I replaced the photo last night.


The entire performance section appears to have been lifted from this page:

I'm pretty sure that's a copyright violation, so I have removed it. Zwilson 23:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm removing this link since it's just pointing to the site's home page. http://www.thedrivingguru.com/ Get Shorty 03:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Trivia Paring edit

The trivia section, aside from being against guidelines, is huge and in need of serious paring. I think first on the chopping block should be the bit about parts-sharing - surprise, surprise, it is a GM vehicle and it shares parts with other GM vehicles.

Mallett omission? edit

About 100 Solstices and a few dozen Skys were converted to V8 engines by Chuck Mallett direct from the Delaware Wilmington plant. Various options included a big-brake kit as well as several Corvette-supplied GM LS engines. A small section should add this conversion as it did 8 years ago as noteworthy. Typically the conversion was an LS2, 400 Hp option, though a few LS3 and LS7 swaps were made. These were official GM upgrades that could be purchased at Pontiac dealerships as a Mallett conversion for about an additional $31000. When I bought my Sky Redline in 2008 I had that option from the Saturn dealership but passed. I have one of the V8 Solstices.
