The Pontiac Solstice has bagged an award just lately. It was named the most important Vehicle of the Year for 2006. This award was given by Edmunds.com. Edmunds.com is one of the premier online resources for information about autos and cars and other things related to the auto industry. This award is also a part of the fifth yearly Edmunds.com Consumers’ Most Wanted vehicle awards.
Last November, the Pontiac Solstice already received the same award. Now this time, when the consumers judged automobiles, it again bagged that same title. This exemplary vehicle has gained and took virtually half the consumers’ votes. It was followed by the Honda Civic, and the Chevrolet Corvette.
According to Karl Brauer, the editor in chief of Edmunds.com,’It’s always engaging to tap into the minds of purchasers. These yearly awards provide insight into consumers’ collective impressions while the Edmunds.com Forums and our social networking internet site CarSpace give glimpses into individual opinions every day of the year.’ Brauer also added,’The domestic automakers made some real traction this year among the consumers who voted. Domestic vehicles won twice as many awards as they went and did last year – a good sign for Chrysler, Ford, and GM.’
The Pontiac Solstice is a creation of General Motors and has been in production starting this year. It is a sports automobile and holds only one body style – a roadster that holds 2 doors. It’s been built using the FR Kappa platform and its power comes from a 2.4 litre Ecotec I4 engine. Its competitors include the Nissan 350Z, the Honda S2000, the Mazda MX-5, and the Chrysler Crossfire. This vehicle has been designed by Wayne Cherry.
