And when you think about it, with the tooling at Wilmington winding down in a few years, and the current problems GM is having, the rumored move to Bowling Green might not happen. It takes two to three years of up front investment to bring a line up to production levels. Considering the platform is rumored to be changing means a good bit of engineering investment as well. GM might not be capable of investing money in the tooling and engineering necessary for the business case for a low rate niche product in the current market.

This isn't to say the Solstice/SKY are forever gone, but I would not be surprised to see a gap in niche production....several years go by to let GM stabilize revenues on the full rate production vehicles. Then start investing back in the niche market again. This will create a defining break between the first generation Solstice/SKY and the next generation. Not only separated by a gap in production, but separated by a different platform. The "Kappa" will become a collectors car, not just from its styling but from it's rarity as well.
