Why not redesign the Solstice/Sky and put it out as a chevy? They were nice little cars to begin with, and I'm sure there would be a market for them...
Look at all the aftermarket for the Cobalt SS, what if they had a platform to work with that wasn't wrong wheel drive, but had the same turbocharged motor?
Sounds like a good idea to me  |
That won't happen.
First, the car is not high enough volume to justify the development cost.
Second, the plant it was built in has already been sold off.
Third, the Solstice actually wasn't that good of car. It had an uncomfortable, awkward interior, offered less performance for the money than the Camaro, and still got lower fuel economy than most full-size cars, despite being very small, which will make it impossible to build given the coming footprint based EPA mandates.
