In my spare time - I have too much - I was browsing Pontiac's website to see whether they set a price for the Solstice yet.

They haven't.

But I started looking at the other cars - particularly the Bonneville. Pontiac now offers the 4.6 liter Northstar (the 275 hp version) - for the top trim level. This came as something of a surprise.

Why would GM allow a Cadillac hallmark in such a slow-selling, lackluster product?

I started looking at the pictures ... the exterior made me wonder why people don't buy this car:







And then I saw it ... the most hideous interior to ever "grace" a vehicle over 30,000 dollars ...





GM needs help.

HAHA...wow....ugliness everywhere. I was gonna tell ya because of the interior, but you posted those pictures and worded that prefectly.

"And then I saw it ... the most hideous interior to ever "grace" a vehicle over 30,000 dollars ... "

Yeah those interiors are so cheap looking, big buttons scattered all over, and to many airvents. DAMN this thing has 8 airvents on the dash. My lord. I would take the 300C before this thing in a heartbeat.

And this is for a 2004/2005??? I don't see much improvements over the old models.

I guess after Buick, Pontiac needs to go The only Pontiac that I used to love was the Trans Am, Knight Rider style.

Even Spock couldn't figure this one out.

I suppose it shouldn't come as a huge surprise...

Pontiac's interiors have always been Fisher Price. Always.

Ummm...i just made it official, the Toyota Echo's interior is nicer than that Bonneville.





Look at that beauty. Its so nice.

Man, that is one messed up interior. 300C WAY before that. More power, and the power goes the rear wheels, which is key. Oh well, it doesn't look too bad on the outside at all.

Here are the answers.
Pontiac is to be the "sporty" GM division. Notive no SUV before (that will change next year). They took off the cladding as well.
The V-8 in the Northstar has a huge issue, ITS TO THE FRONT WHEELS! Otherwise, they are on the right path.
As ya'll stated for 35k, HELLO, 300C. THought not all like the Bently styling. The GXP is stylish.

A V8 rear-drive Pontiac flagship is reportedly in the works. Whether or not it retains the Bonneville name remains to be seen. It will probably share its basic platform with the new Buick rear-drive flagship sedan which is also in the works, (the Park Avenue is being dropped) but obviously the Pontiac will be much more driver-oriented than the Buick

Almost all pontiac vehicles look the same. They have that big two ugly looking nostrols up front!! If you didn't know much about cars, you probably wouldn't be able to tell a Grand Am, new GTO, Grand Prix, or a Bonneville apart!! They all almost look the same from up front!!

people say the interior of the 350z and the G35 are ugly... (personally I don't think there's anything wrong with them).... and I'm not usually one to nitpick on an interior, it's not too hard to please me...

but damn! this is seriously the ugliest interior I have seen on any production car. There may be worse out there, but I've yet to see it.

You have many Nissans to choose from.

While I don't think those Nissan//Infiniti interiors you posted are great, (certainly not on par with Lexus), I wouldn't mind driving around with that in my car. Not the best, but I can put up with it. As I said earlier, I'm not too picky on interiors.

But that Bonneville interior... I would be too busy puking to drive the damn car.
