I don't see a small volume car helping that. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/comp...AC1TSR?ocid=sf I said from early on that the Kappa platform would have been great to continue under Buick and the Sky model would have fit into Buick's lineup wonderfully as the other Opel rebadges. With sales tanking in 2009 thanks to the limited practicality of the model and 2 seat roadsters in general, once the platform was discontinued and the tooling sold, it was dead. Such a shame for a great platform. |

I have no idea what kind of car I will get when my Solstice dies. Maybe a Fiata? |

It's ( way ) too late now, but that was actually one of my ideas for saving it back in the day. A chrome waterfall grill would have quickly and easily turned the Solstice into a Buick. They could have even named it "Skylark" |
