Congratulations. I would recommend that GM solicit their input a month from now to see how they like the car.
Good follow up since the delay of the original SOP. This is proof that the car is available in the summer, though not in large quantities, it is for sale. No one can knock you for that. The car looks great and I look forward to seeing them soon in Canada.

There is no car current or concept, no vehicle hidden or exposed, not one rendered by computer sketch or etch-a-sketch that can compare with GM’s coming stable nor its current crop of growing stars, the HHR, Solstice and H3.
There is no object rendered of steel that looks better than a Pontiac Solstice.
Put Wall Street on notice that GM is poised for the turnaround of the decade.
No other car in existance has dimples.
I wonder if I should say this…. yeah…(Bob you’re worth your weight in gold.) Can’t wait to get mine.
Hollywood doesn’t make movies they make dreams and stars.
In the same way GM shouldn’t make just cars but dreams and golden chariots.
I look forward to the day when we have the Velite and a Buick inspired by its glorious heritage when it sold more cars than anyone except Ford and Chevy. A modern day Buick 8 comes to mind.
What an amazing vehicle. The find folks from http://www.JimCausley.com came through with the keys to a silver Solstice once the 2nd annual Gratiot Cruise had ended. A nice half hour ride through the city was more than enough to convince myself this vehicle and I are meant to be together.
I can’t way to own my Solstice. Truthfully, it’s a chick magnet of a car. Never in my life did I imagine such attention because of an automobile but wow. The 177hp gets up and moves and I was able to chirp them right through 3rd gear. At one stop light I had a gentleman yelling at me because I did not get on it at the previous light. I gave him what he wanted
The interior controls are exactly where they should be. The only fear that I have is the passenger might not have enough room. NOS (from C&G) was with me when we went on our spin. He’s 5′7″ and had enough room for his legs so that it was comfortable, however when I sat in the passenger seat before the drive was to begin my legs were very cramped and I’m 5′10″.
I joked with NOS and Mr. Causley that I apparently will have to settle for a girlfriend that is about 5′5″ for her to be really comfortable in the passenger seat.
Also, I do not see how the General says two golf bags can fit in the trunk with the top down. Impossible. I don’t see how one could fit in there with ease.
On the flip side, the top is extremly easy to operate and can be done with one hand. It’s that simple. You start with the top (obviously) secured in place to the trunk. Pop the glove box, press the trunk release button and the top “unlocks” itself from the trunk. Lift the trunk with one hand (which opens with severe ease) pull the top close (again with much ease) with one hand, push the drunk closed and bam, you’re ready for top down driving fun.
Great Job, Bob
I too would recommend that GM solicit their input a month from now to see how they like the car.
Bob,
You bring to market another twenty cars with this type of visceral appeal and you’ll have no sales problems. Of course you know that.
I’m sure many people understood that when Roger the dodger spent more than it would have cost to buy Toyota modernizing to build Cadillac Cimarrons as well. That’s never been the point. You have a legacy to overcome and the consumer has migrated to Missouri. Show me.
I’m thoroughly impressed this car came to market in its concept form and held to its expected price. Do this ten or twenty more times and the market may just give you a passing grade with sustainable increased sales and market share.
I’m liking those shades. Couldn’t get much better then that!
That is great, that Mr Lutz accually saw the first vehicle to its owner, that shows tremendous care and a very personable company.
I sure how you’re wrong about that size thing Josh, although you’re reviews are generally very informative rather then flaming. My buddy and I both want to get a solstice or sky, to cruise in, currently doing it in a lt1 94 Camaro (very pleasent drive on the open road), but I’m about 6′0 and my buddy who is about 6′2 and if I or He has to sit in the passenger side… thats probably gonna get a bit cramped.
Ohh well, its not gonna cruise and be as comfortable as the SL55 Benz, but probably comfortable enough.
Bob!
Congrats! I am moving to Tokyo for 3 years! When I get back, I hope I can buy a Solstice and a G6 GTP (maybe an STE version). Its great to see Pontiac on an upswing, and its even better that it will happen sooner than later. Congrats again, and congrats for getting inventory levels down to 43 days!!!
Great. GM can now design, as proven in the Solstice and G6.
It can deliver, as evidenced by this article. (even though I suspect you won’t be able to drive a solstice off the lot for quite some time).
Now all they need to do is fix their dealerships. If anything holds me back from buying the stunning G6 coupe, it will be the dealerships. Every GM dealership experience I have had has been horrible. High pressure sales, uneducated and unqualified sales associates, and the most confusing buying process known to man. Fix this, and I will glady jump ship from Honda and buy a G6.
Solstices (Solsti?) now being delivered
Lutz Delivers First Solstice .
You guys are introducing a PT Cruiser look alike 5 years after the PT cruiser was introduced??!!
Get with it! Toyota Scion is kicking everybody’s butt with it’s fresh, urban styled cars. Look forward for fresh designs not backwards to the 1930’s!
Joe’s comment about dealerships is one I hear often but don’t understand. In today’s world, most stores across the brand spectrum are owned and operated by the same folks. For example in Indianapolis “Tom Wood” sells just about every make of car on the market. It’s difficult for me to believe they have a totally different business philosophy between their GM and import stores?
has nothing to do with this topic, I just wanted to say that tilt and telescopic steering should be standard on all GM cars, from top to bottom.
Adjustable pedals should be an option on all models also.
side curtain airbags should not be standard-like they are on Hyundais.
Those 3 moves would let GM stand out from the crowd.
Also-the employee discount has beeen extended once more I see, after you said they wouldnt be. That just makes GM look silly.
Just make it permanent!
Mr. Lutz: Let me congratulate you on an impressive launch of the Solstice, it will stimulate an interest in Pontiac products that has been missing since the late ’70s Trans Am. But Pontiac must expand the Solstice lineup quickly to take advantage of the buzz the convertible will generate.
The easiest to do (and rumor has it will be an option) would be to put a removable hardtop on the Solstice, this will help, especially if it is at a lower sticker.
The real answer is a 5 passenger Sedan; hopefully this model is already in the pipeline.
Most obvious is a 4 Door Sedan version of the Solstice that would be the size of the BMW 3-series, GM has never offered a model like this on the U.S. market. This could be the most critical model that Pontiac would introduce; it would define Pontiac as a legitimate player in the high performance sedan market and lay the foundation for other mass market offerings.
There are plenty of power choices starting with the 2.8L I-4, both the 3.6L V-6 and 4.2L I-6, finally (and we could only hope) the 5.3L V-8. The 2.8L will be needed to offset the sedan’s weight, and the 4.2L torque advantage over the 3.6L may offset packaging issues. Backing up these engines would be variations of Corvette transaxles; both are proven design 6 speeds that would help the sedan achieve the desired 50-50 weight distribution. The 4.2L sedan could be a real sleeper, and would give this great engine a home it deserves.
Of course the most desirable model would be the V8 even with a 5.3L, and if more is needed, there is always the 6.0L option – and someone will stuff a 7.0L in one. This model could use the Corvette driveline. I know there will be serious objection to this from the Chevrolet side, but the importance of GM redefining Pontiac is far more vital to the corporation. Using the Corvette rear transaxle and suspension will guarantee a high performance sedan and offset development costs.
The interior needs to be not only world class but offer legitimate 4 adult passenger comfort with the ability to carry the occasional 5th passenger. Luggage space and utility should spacious and versatile – unlike the GTO.
A 5 passenger coupe would be a another obvious addition, and could have a low price model offered with the 2.8L I-4 5 speed and more limited equipment, and would serve as a great platform for first time racers. Both the Coupe and Sedan should be able to start in the mid $20K range with top performance models priced competitively with the BMW 3-series. Thanks for your time and keep those hits coming.

I would amend that. A month is WAYY too short a time for an owner’s rational mind to re-assert itself and allow a realistic assessment about the wisdom of his or her purchase.
Wait until deep, DEEP into the payment book; talk to them after two or three YEARS when the ash trays are full and the honeymoon glow and new-car smell are gone.
How many recalls? How many squeaks and rattles? How many times has the EEC gone on strike? How many liquids forming puddles on the garage floor? Electrical gremlins? Cheap plastic bits breaking off? Leaky convertible top? Epoxy peeling from alloy wheels? Premature paint oxidation? Rust?
Are they still calling him “Mr. Goodwrench”? Or perhaps something more ‘colorful’ and far less flattering?
It should be no great trick to build a car that drives decently and looks pretty off the showroom floor. But how does it look and drive at 60,000 miles? Is it still their pride and joy THEN?
GM’s track record is of cars that look, feel and drive old before their time. Remember the Fiero – that plastic-bodied, mid-engined (insofar as one could call the old “iron duke” an engine – it could barely drag an old man out of bed) confederation of misbegotten and ill-wrought Chevy Citation parts rolling loosely in formation while simultaneously masquerading as a sports car?
The Solstice is almost certainly a better car – it could hardly fail to be – but for the Solstice to actually prove itself OVER TIME be a good car, let alone a great car – would require a heroic conquest of three decades of inertia behind GM’s tradition of mediocrity.
God bless ‘em for trying. I hope it’s another Camaro for GM – a long-running and venerable classic that will stand the test of time and be remembered with fondness by everyone who owns it.
To follow up with indi500fan on the dealership issue…I agree, and often wonder this as well, however it does not appear to be true. I think a large part of this is how GM cars are sold. If I walk into Honda and want to buy a Civic, all I have to do is choose between value package,LX, EX or hybrid. Then just about the only remaining signficant option is the transimssion type. At GM there are so many different options and packages that you rarely can find a car with just the features your looking for. This leads to the dealer using slippery sales tactics to get you into a car that they have on the lot even though it may not be exactly what you wanted. An inexperienced buyer can get caught up in all of this and have trouble negotiating a price because of all the add ons. If I go to honda, price out an automatic Civic EX and then go to 10 different Honda dealerships, I know I’m getting the price for the same car. If i go to GM and price out an automatic Chevy Cobalt LS, the different option packages could leave me with 10 very different prices. Although I appreciate the higher level of customization in a GM vehicle, it makes purchasing a car much more confusing. Like I said, fix the dealers, and I’ll gladly park a G6 in my driveway.
Congrats!
Solstice is a terrific car, one of the few GM has produced in years to have built this much excitement at or before its introduction. The only problem is that GM essentially built excitement for this car, but now they’re telling those excited customers they’ll have to wait because production is limited. Their “First 1000″ promotion with The Apprentice was terrific. The first 1000 Solstices sold in less than an hour. The problem is that anyone who wanted a Solstice had to go online and register, and then go to their dealer to place an order. So now all of these people believe they have a legitimate chance at getting an early Solstice, only to find out that they are somewhere on a waiting list with 9000+ other people who didn’t get one of the “First 1000″. Seems to me that the goal of building excitement for a product is that as that excitement peaks, you should be able to deliver the product. In this case it won’t even be close.
When GM makes a GTO that resembles a GTO,I’ll buy a GTO. If not,I’ll buy a mustang. I don’t really like Fords, but the new Mustang looks like a Mustang. The GTO, should LOOK like a GTO.
Kudos to everyone at Pontiac who envisioned such a car. I am the target market – 28, MBA, single, Acura owner – and I’m signing up either for a new Solstice or G6 convertible. If you (GM) keep producing vehicles that are both mechanically astute and artful then the necessary “turn-around” will be guranteed.
Again – congrats on a truly landmark automobile.
“Joe” has an excellent point about the byzantine world of choosing options on a new car.
It’s as if GM scientifically designs its cars’ standard equipment lists and option packages to maximize profit and limit customers’ choices. Here’s how the scam works:
1. Pack the cars with a lot of stuff – much of it trim and lightweight “amenities” – so that the standard equipment list looks impressive.
2. Make sure you leave some things off – things that any conscientious new automobile buyer would not be without in this 21st Century, such as 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, side-curtain airbags and traction control.
3. Package this desireable – in my opinion, necessary – equipment with a whole bunch of crap (like spoilers, map pockets, cargo nets) and jack the price.
4. NEVER allow people to order separately substantial options that they don’t need but might want, such as sport handling packages or performance engines. Again, dump into the “package” a bunch of useless “embroidery” few people would actually go out their way to order if they had a choice and then charge through the nose for it.
5. Another insidious ploy is to arbitrarily make some options available in one body style of a model range while making them unavailable in another. Classic example: if you want a Chevy Cobalt with the supercharged engine and sports handling suspension, you MUST buy the coupe. The assumption is that if you, for some rational reason, need four doors, you must also be a gaffer, a geezer, a duffer, a codger or, worst of all – a coot. Sedan buyers have to be satisfied with marshmellow springs and an engine that couldn’t pull the bleemus off a day-old latte.
There is, of course, no rational reason why a Cobalt sedan can’t get a supercharger; the engine bays of the coupe and sedan are identical. Likewise, there is no rational reason why the Cobalt sedan can’t have just as robust a chassis as the coupe.
But actually, THERE IS a rational reason – at least to GM. The coupe – because it has two fewer doors and simpler sheet metal stampings, costs significantly less to build than the sedan. Put all the neat expensive performance stuff on the coupe and you can charge more for the cheaper (to build) car, thereby maximizing your profit margin.
Sticking again with the Chevy Cobalt, if I can reconcile myself to putting up with two doors so I can get the supercharged engine and other performance bits, I absolutely MUST have a rear spoiler – and an especially ugly one at that. Though in general more unsightly and useless pieces of crap have never been screwed, glued or tattooed onto ANY car meant for street use. (Even Toyota Corollas come with spoilers; who are they KIDDING?)
[I guess I must take that back; the ghastly plastic body cladding slapped onto most Pontiacs up until recently is even worse.]
I HATE THIS KIND OF MARKETING!! GM is telling me that performance and taste are mutually exclusive. To get the performance I want, I have to order a car I wouldn’t be seen DEAD in, let alone actually drive.
I might actually have considered a car like the Cobalt, but in order to get the things I want, GM makes me buy a body style I don’t want, and befestoon it with things I not only don’t need, but wouldn’t take EVEN FOR FREE!
I now own a Volkswagen Jetta. There are lots of reasons for my choice that I won’t go into here, but one of the chief reasons is that the car comes standard with everything that most of its competitors include plus several necessary things that GM and other omit, such as -
1. 4-wheel antilock disc brakes
2. traction control
3. not 2 or 4, but SIX air bags; front, side and head
4. tilting AND telescoping steering wheel
5. good suspension right out of the box
6. 10-speaker Monsoon premium audio system
Plus, I could choose any of FOUR engines -
1. bread-and-butter 2.0 liter 4
2. 1.9 liter direct-injected turbo-diesel – good for 45-50 mpg
3. smooth, powerful 1.8 liter turbo-charged 4
4. AWESOME 2.8 liter VR-6
THREE transmissions
1. basic 5-speed manual
2. 4-speed automatic
3. 6-speed tiptronic
And I could order – again, SEPARATELY – electronic stability control and ONSTAR (through a license with GM)
No spoilers! But if I should suffer a stroke, lose half my brain matter and regress to my pre-adolescent HotWheels stage, I can order one SEPARATELY as a dealer-installed option.
Yes, I know that you are probably snickering, “If VW is so great, how come GM LOSES more Cobalts than VW sells Jettas?” In the U.S. that is close to the truth. But worldwide, VW sells big bucket loads of cars. VW’s come with a higher base sticker price (but a lot more solid content) and have an unapologetically spare German look and feel. They don’t try to sell American cars; they sell German cars to Americans who like German cars.
So snicker if you want to, but VW made it very easy to get a car with JUST the stuff I wanted on it. But GM tells me that if I want ketchup, I have to take it with mustard and relish! The end result – for me at least – is NO SALE!!
I like my cars comfortable, responsive, nimble on their feet, safe and fast, and I like them to look clean, uncluttered and purposeful – inside and out – without being tarted up with a bunch of tawdry and juvenile cosmetic trash. And I want all this solid virtue with my choice of two or four doors, damn it!
Is that so much to ask?
If you make it possible for me to get what I want, your gross margin might be somewhat less, because I would likely forego your more frivolous high-profit items. But YOU GET NOTHING AT ALL unless I buy a car!
If you offer a more flexible way to order options, you might actually make MORE money in the long run. You’ll sell more cars and cars that are more attractive to more people. And perhaps then you won’t have to give them away, sending all that extra profit margin (and then some) circling around the bowl with employee pricing gimmicks, rebates and interest rate deals. Who knows, if the cars are attractive enough, people might actually be willing to pay full sticker! (like they do for Toyotas and Hondas)
You might give it a try. I mean, how has what you’ve been doing working for you?
I can’t say it any more plainly. Offer customers what they WANT! If you don’t, we’ll find someone who will. And there are plenty of good places besides GM to look.
Build me an American car the way I want it and I WILL BUY IT!
Dear Robert,
I am a fan of GM and would like to see a turnaround in the company. I think GM has made significant strides in terms of product desireability, especially at Cadillac, to become a stronger company.
The Solstice is a beautiful car and I think is poised to be a success for GM. Because I think GM has a winner, I question the wording on the Pontiac website. The Solstice has barely been launched, yet the website states that the Solstice has a “Base MSRP: $19,995* before incentives” and is “As shown: $21,545* before incentives”. To me, the wording implies the Solstice is less desireable than its MSRP and one should expect incentives when purchasing this model. The wording may have been deliberate. If so please disregard my comment.
In either case, good luck with the Solstice and GM in general.
Regards,
Antonio Santoro
Weirving,GM does the “package deal” because that way they can predict how many of each items they will need durring the model year. If they used the cafeteria style of car ordering you would wait for a long time because not all the items would be in inventory because they would not have any idea how many of this or that they would need till the orders come in. Corvette thought about a “stripper” Corvette but market survey showed that most people want a “loaded” one. The days of “radio and heater deleat” for Corvettes or any car are over because of the “just in time inventory” does not allow for this freedom
Antonio,
We appreciate your comments. The point you make is a very good one. We currently have over 10,000 orders for the Solstice from excited customers who feel that the price is the car is a value, even without incentives. That’s exactly the way we want our customers to feel… GM vehicles are a good value at the MSRP.
However, as market conditions change, we recognize that some form of incentive is necessary on certain products from time-to-time. To make our advertised prices on our website consistent, we have chosen to insert the phrase “before incentives” for ALL of our vehicles, including the Solstice. This does not mean that we intend to offer incentives on the Solstice any time in the future, but rather is a cost effective manner of noting that prices can fluctuate on occasion without changing our website on a frequent basis.
Again, thank you for your enthusiastic acceptance of the Solstice. I hope you have the opportunity to test drive one at your local Pontiac dealer in the near future.
Regards,
Jim Hopson
Manager, Pontiac Communication
Strange things I noticed about the 2006 Malibu and Impala:
1. Impala-does not offer power adjustable pedals or telescoping steering wheel. I thought after these were made available on the Malibu that all Chevy cars would get these. They most definitely should have.
2. Impala-has fake wood as standard in the interior with chrome trim as an option. It should have been the other way around.
3. Impala-confusing options. Why weren’t fold flat rear seats made standard across the board? Wouldnt it make assembly easier to have more standard features for all models?
4. Malibu-Why isn’t there an auxiliary jack for the iPod? It’s in the Impala, but not the Malibu? That doesn’t make any sense.
I find these things very odd and a little disturbing. Don’t you guys talk to each other? Spread the goodies across every model, isn’t that obvious? I guess not to GM.
Dear Jim Hopson, M
(Manager, Pontiac Communications)
I think the Solstice is a great looking car. I am astounded that GM FINALLY started paying attention to the value they can bring to market by STYLISHLY assembling cars from the same components they share across most of the Buick, Pontiac, GMC, Chevy cars they make to give it some sort of unique identity.
I am the demographic I think that GM is shooting for – 30ish, middle management, car-infatuated and a very watchful eye for detail (assembly, style, value, performance) and durability (how it holds up in real world driving after 60,000 miles).
I would love to buy this vehichle, however, it is lacking in the options department. Just because Miata / S2000 don’t offer something, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t either. With a car this good looking, you can certainly lead the pack instead of follow it.
Will GM be adding enhanced options packages for those of us who might want slightly more than a back to basics roadster?
For example, on the GXP Turbo, will a power top, heads up display (already used in pontiac cars), universal garage door opener, heated seats, side airbags, power seats and navigation be available as options?
I am sure there are a lot of people like me out there who would like these modern day conveniences and it would broaden your target market a great deal.
You could still have the current models for people who want to stay in that price range.
A back to basics roadster with satellite radio and on-star but none of the aforementioned items available as options seems somewhat half hearted.
Hope to hear from you or read your reply on here soon.
Sincerely,
R.F.

Last May, my wife and I were waffling between buying a new, non-GM sports car and being the early adopters on the block by purchasing a Solstice. After receiving emails from the dealer urging us to hurry up and place our deposit, I found out from a different dealer that I should ‘hang in there’ until October ‘05.
I was impressed with the fit, finish, and performance of my sister’s G6, and on the strength of that vehicle’s quality I almost thought it worthwhile to wait for the Solstice. However, time waits for no man, and I, along with countless other people, have moved on and purchased another product.
Good things come to those who wait, but with MX-5’s, S2000’s, MR-2’s, Vettes, and Elises out there and available, why bother?
I really wanted this car, and I truly wish nothing but success for the division that made my wonderful ‘66 GTO. However, the blown launch of this car reinforces the fact there are many other vendors out there who can deliver the goods.
Thanks Bob!It should be good on gas,since every thing else will be kicking it’s A**.Come on Bob,why are you making us look to Ford?Can’t GM see what the People really want?The Solstice looks like every other import piece of crap!The kids will surly love it.I’ll keep my Trans Am,at least it will keep up in pony country.
great car- look forward to more info
Lets see:Pontiac started with a clean slate, took their time on developement and came out with the Solstice…a clear winner. Too bad that same module wasn’t used on the GTO. No Holden crossbreeding in the Solstice and it shows.
How come shipping is so slow for the Solstice? I’m one of those poor souls that couldn’t get through because of zip code. Now first 1000 people have their vin # up till 499 as of monday, BUT NO CARS are being delivered but a few!!!! Whats up GM?????
The Solstice is nice if you are young and have no kids.
How about us family guys who love cars?
Don’t we deserve to be remembered?
The GTO is tooooo expensive and FWD doesn’t cut it. I have a Bonneville SE and a Montana I am sick of FWD. I am also sick of no RWD COUPES that will sit more than two teenagers. I also am 6′2″’s tall and over 300 lbs. I take a 3-4X to fit my shoulders not my waist. I am split evenly between my waist to ground and waist to the top of my head so I have the seats all the way back and tilted to fit in the cars.
The best fitting car fr me was the Fiero, and the Montana but that would fit almost anyone.
I have kids come on give me a RWD COUPE that I am proud to call my own or I will have to go used or to the OTHER car companies.
Also would offering one that is truly affordable kill you?
Also give us MORE control on what we want. Give us the ability to order exactly what we want say a RWD coupe as follows.
Coupe: Midsize
Color: Red
Engine: V8 550 hp 600trq
Transmission:6spd man.
Interior: Cloth
color: Black
Stereo: AM/FM/Cassette/CD
Num. speakers: 8
DVD/VCR Player w/ headrest monitors
Body pkg.: Spoiler, chin/Spoiler, trunk or
Complete body pkg
tires: 355 R 40 18’s rear
315 R 40 18’s fr.
Hood scoop
True dual exhaust 3.5″
extreme performance suspension pkg
Get the drift?
If that is the type of car I want I am going to be willing to pay for the up grades and yes I may go for a lower priced car but I know I will be buying parts from you to upgrade the car or have the work done at the dealers.
If I can get the car ordered from you you will get the business but if not I will go somewhere else. You lose. I lose.
Give us more RWD COUPES SMALL
Revive the Superduties, You have already done the SS moniker please give us some hope.
Bob: Looks like we lost the Buick leadership position in China due to quality. This is tragic. Somebody needs to lose their job. We cannot afford this type of screw-up.
I am among those praying for quality in solstice. Solstice is a game breaker for GM.

Jim I totally agree with you. Solstice Will be a game breaker for GM.
Why are Solstices not being delivered?
The Solstice is the dawn of a new kind of Pontiac.
Mr Lutz:
I would like to refer you to the site for GM in the Middle East, http://www.gmme.com for the cars that should be brought to this country to be sold as the Impala SS and other REAR drive cars, http://www.gmme.com See the Lumina SS and the Caprice SS.
I hope tis can come to pass. Front wheel drive is WRONG WHEEL DRIVE.
Thank you
Edward Lipman
When will the Solstice come to NJ?
I’ve been following the Solstice for about two years now and tried to order it, earlier this year, but was unsuccessful due to the fact that I was too early. Then the apprentice comes along and gets 9000 orders in less than a half hour!
I immediately ordered my car, but have been told that I won’t receive until next year!!!
I need a new car and I’ve been holding on to my old car, far longer than I should, while waiting for the Solstice. I don’t think that I can wait much longer!
All the dealerships, in this area, haven’t received a single car. This isn’t fair…
Regretfully,
G. Hermenau

Mr. Lutz
In the Weckbacher Family GM products are the only thing we buy because they are more reliable then the other companies out there.
