Pontiac Solstice GXP (Info from LA Auto Show)

The sleek new two-seater gets more power with the debut of the Solstice GXP, which features GM’s all-new Ecotec 2.0-liter turbo, the most powerful production engine in the Ecotec family. This turbo with direct injection kicks a V-6’s worth of power out of a four-cylinder engine, an estimated 260 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. It will arrive in dealerships this summer.

Man why couldn't they have given us a turbo.

I would of been more hesitant to get this car if it were a turbo, I like blowers cuz they make power the right way but nice power output on that block. Can't wait till some dumb kid with a boost controller takes his dads and blows it up cuz the pistons can't take more than 40 more hp, It'll be funny

GM is trying to move Saturn upscale. They have already said that the Sky is going to be more expensive than the Solstice.

And from what I was told the SKY has a lot less options, they come pretty much fully loaded. The Solstice starts with a stripped down model and you can add a bunch of stuff to it as options.
