Cheap plastic is abundant inside and out. The Pontiac Solstice’s grille is silver honeycomb which helps to upgrade the look, but the rear gets a full lower valance of inexpensive-looking black trim from tire to tire. Stick your head inside the car and you’re likely to notice the vast amounts of hard plastic before anything else. Its unfortunate GM chose to take this course, because with a little more attention to detail the Solstice could have truly been what it was intended to be, an image-building sports car for Pontiac. With regard to material quality, it is an image-confirming sports car for Pontiac.
