Pontiac Solstice Gxp on 2040-cars
Vergennes, Vermont, United States
Color: Aggressive (red) Mileage: 88KEngine: 2 liter turbo (this is a GXP)Transmission: 5 speed automaticLocation: Burlington, Vermont (about 3 hours north of Boston/ 1 hour south of Montreal) This car has been my baby, and I have taken great care of it. It and runs and drives perfectly. I am the second owner of the car, the first owner was a GM engineer who also took good care of it (I bought the car private party) The car has been very reliable mechanically with only routine maintenance required, aside from having to replace the passenger side seat sensor. The oil has been changed using Mobil 1 synthetic every 5-6k. Options on the car include:Black leather seatsLeather wrapped steering wheelStock chrome plated 18" wheelsPremium acoustic headlinerSport metallic pedalsRear spoilerXM radioOver the years, I have made a few desirable mods to the car:Trifecta "budget" tune, good for 300 HP.Magnaflow catback exhaust, all stainless steel with dual 4" tipsDejon air intake, color matched to color of carGM PAL iPod integration kitThe combination of the intake, tune and exhaust make for a very fun and fast car. At low speeds, you can hear the turbo whistle and blow off clearly thanks to the intake. The Trifecta tune is terrific, the car takes off like a rocket and pins you back in your seat once you hit the gas. A couple of years ago, I clipped a curb at low speed in a parking lot. The front bumper had a small crack and was replaced, and the right rocker panel (the area below the door) was repaired by a reputable body shop. The paint matches perfectly, as you can see in the pictures. Only selling because I moved to Vermont a couple of years ago, and because of the severe winters here, the car sits in storage for much of the year. I have a four wheel drive winter beater, but I'd like to get something nicer that I can drive year round. Many more pictures in addition to the ones below can be viewed here I have a clear title in my name in hand. I can be reached via eBay messages, or feel free to call/text me at 352-871-1598. Thanks!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
