THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE and this very one, the Dodge Razor, are in many ways the two very stars of Detroit Motor Show; both cars are light, small, 4-cyl. and affordable. The target price of the one is $14.500 (£10,000, 14.600 Euro) – the Pontiac app. 30 percent more.

Interesting is it’s engine: The Razor is powered by a 2.4 litre turbo four-pot packing a healthy 250 hp, weight is almost lightweight with 1125 kg – enough to hit the magically 6 sec. run to 100 km/h. We think it looks smashing – please don’t keep it as a concept car – we want to drive it.

FACTS:
2 seater – rear-wheel drive – 4 cyl. inline – 250 hp.
