RIP Solstice/Sky
Well folks my car is now a relic... No more Kappa platform...
Some info
Here's the latest info I got from manufacturing on the build-out on all Solstice, soft-top & coupe.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wilmington DE will be closed on July 31.
The last car enters the body shop June 2nd and should be off line on the 12th as an 09 MY.
They currently have built 30 MY 2010, two Opel GT's, Eight SKY's and 20 Solstice. There is work being done currently to determine what to do with these 30 vehicles. They may get an exemption from the government to let us sell them as 2010's, retrofit them back to MY 2009 and sell them or simply scrap them.

As for how many coupes are being made, I remember Jim Hopson said "Somewhere between 750 and 800 total Solstice Coupes will be built this year". Not sure the total numbers on the soft-top?
My recommendation would be if you want one or want to get a newer one, I wouldn't wait too long. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
ALSO
The last one to roll off the line is next week...Sad, just sad...
My personal solstice is VIN #2896 ZOK Package...(From what I can tell the first off the line) Bought in December 05 with 3 miles on it...Wonderful car just fun...I know I have some fellow brethren on here (Micro, daddy, etc...) well now to decide trade or sit on it? Dunno just bummed!
