Roadster that holds two doors

The Pontiac Solstice has bagged an award just latterly.  It was named the most significant Vehicle of the Year for 2006.  This award was given by Edmunds.com.  Edmunds.com is one of the premier online resources for information about autos and cars and other things related to the auto industry.  This award is also a part of the 5th yearly Edmunds.com Consumers’ Most Wanted car awards. 

Last Nov, the Pontiac Solstice already received the same award.  Now this time around, when the buyers judged automobiles, it again bagged that same title.  This exemplary automobile has gained and took nearly half the consumers’ votes.  It was followed by the Honda Civic, and the Chevrolet Corvette. 

According to Karl Brauer, the editor in CEO of Edmunds.com,’It’s always engaging to tap into the minds of clients.  These yearly awards provide insight into consumers’ collective impressions while the Edmunds.com Forums and our social networking internet site CarSpace give glances into individual opinions each day of the year.’ Brauer also added,’The domestic automakers made some real traction this year among the shoppers who voted.  Domestic automobiles won twice as many awards as they did last year - a good sign for Chrysler, Ford, and GM.’

The Pontiac Solstice is a creation of General Motors and has been in production starting this year.  It is a sports automobile and holds only 1 body style - a roadster that holds two doors.  It’s been built using the FR Kappa platform and its power comes from a 2.4 litre Ecotec I4 engine.  Its competitors include the Nissan 350Z, the Honda S2000, the Mazda MX-5, and the Chrysler Crossfire.  This automobile has been designed by Wayne Cherry.
