Several of my Pontiac articles have focused on the Solstice, a two-seat roadster that came around in 2007, just before GM dumped the Pontiac division as part of its bankruptcy restructuring. In researching this quirky little convertible, I have developed quite a fondness for its rounded styling, which is evocative of Lightning McQueen, the animated star of the 2006 Pixar hit movie "Cars."
