The Pontiac Solstice has recently won an award. It was named the Most Significant Vehicle of the Year in 2006. This award was given by Edmunds.com, one of the leading online resources for information about cars and vehicles and other things related to the automotive industry. This award is also part of its fifth annual Most Wanted Vehicle Award by Consumers.
Last November, the Pontiac Solstice already received the same award. Now, this time, when consumers judged the vehicles, he again pocketed the same title. This exemplary vehicle has won and garnered nearly half of the consumer votes. The Honda Civic and Chevrolet Corvette followed.
According to Karl Brauer, editor-in-chief of Edmunds, “It is always interesting to access the minds of consumers. These annual awards provide insight into the collective impressions of consumers, while the Edmunds.com forums and our social media website CarSpace provides glimpses of individual reviews every day of the year. ” Brauer also added: “Domestic automakers did some real traction this year among voting consumers. Domestic vehicles won twice as many awards as last year, a good sign for Chrysler, Ford and GM.”
The Pontiac Solstice is the brainchild of General Motors and has been in production as of this year. It is a sports car and has only one body style: a roadster that has two doors. It has been built using the FR Kappa platform and its power comes from a 2.4-liter Ecotec I4 engine. Its competitors include the Nissan 350Z, the Honda S2000, the Mazda MX-5, and the Chrysler Crossfire. This vehicle has been designed by Wayne Cherry.
