Okay, so i have been on a crusade of late to find out if the Solstice will be coming to Canada. I did research for a few days trying to locate email addresses of ALL of the big cheeses, executives et al at GM. I found about 7-8 email addresses and figured that I could fudge the others, I mean how many Robert A. Lutzes are there in GM anyways?

Bad news was that 5 of my emails didnt go through, even the guess-timated Bob Lutz address didn't work.....HOWEVER......My email did get through to Mr. Stew Low Director of Public Relations, GM of Canada (no kidding!!!)

Here's his first email:

From: stew.low@gm.com

Re: Solstice Question (please read)

I will get confirmation to you today. I am sure it will be sold in Canada,
but want to double check.

THEN he sent me a second email:

Re: Solstice Question (please read)

Yes the Solstice will be sold in Canada. We very much look forward to
selling you one and thank you for your enthusiastic support.




So there's the PROOF that the car IS going to be sold here!

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

:banasex0r :D :bouncy: :cool: :p :hat: :bandit: :) :thumbsup:[B]

Psycosquirrel good work! Well all I have to worry about now is do i preorder or wait untill the SC version comes out. And well we all need to wait to see what colour they come in.
Thanks again for following this up more!

Yah ! Nice job squirrel !

Now All i gotta hope is that it's SC and not TC ... I like my super charging :cool:

I wonder what colours it will come in ? anybody know ? I also want a hardtop for it. Cause it rains too much in vancouver. :muncher:

Don't hold your breath on the hard top idea, unless you want to buy a chevy nomad 4-5 years from now. I wouldnt be surprised if GM diversifies the Kappa "architecture" as they call it and offer different size models starting with the Nomad.

I would prefer a hard top too, but I can "suffer" with a convertable. ;)

My main concern now is colour choices and wether I should wait a few months for a SC/TC option or just buy it ASAP. The press release stories always mention a price range, as if they will offer a stripper version, and a pricier model, perhaps the latter will have our beloved SC (or TC) and ~240 hp please please please!

Hey at least I get to buy one. The GM guy was really nice in email tag, he even wanted me to email him a picture of me with my car after I buy my Solstice. :)

Well there may not be a factory option hard top but there should be aftermarket options. Im sure if GM does not offer one then someone like www.smoothline.com will make them. Ive got a hard top from them for my Fiat and it works great!

As far as getting a hardtop whether it's made by GM/Pontaic or not i could care less. the S2000 and audi TT and Miata have them...so the Solstice will at some point.

Now all i have to do is wait...way...too ... long.... I'm gonna drive a 2005 new mustang in the fall and see what it's like. I like the new late 60's look of the thing. :bouncy:

WhoooHoooo! :kiss: Bring-it-on! :bouncy:
