Default EDAG Pontiac Solstice Hard-Top World Debut at NAIAS

EDAG Show Car No. 8 at Delhi Auto-Expo

Right at the start of the year, EDAG Engineering + Design AG will be present as an exhibiter at the first two annual meetings of the automobile industry on two continents, thus emphasizing its claim as a leading international development partner for the motor vehicle industry. EDAG will be presenting its competence in the networked development of motor vehicles and production equipment, including plant construction and small series production, at the Auto-Expo in New Delhi (India) and the Detroit Motor Show (USA) at the beginning of January.

World premiere at the Detroit Motor Show 2006
In its first-ever appearance at the Detroit Motor Show, EDAG will exhibit two show cars as proof of its competence when it comes to innovative development solutions, including small series production.

A world premiere will be the display of the Pontiac Solstice in a hardtop version. The American sports convertible comes from the factory with a cloth top which disappears under a flap in the back when retracted. The EDAG designers have designed a special hardtop, including a new boot flap, for the Solstice which not only puts a solid roof over the driver’s head, but also gives the car a completely new appearance. Inspired by the Pontiac Safari station wagons of the 1950s and 1960s, the EDAG designers have come up with a dynamic, elegant and contemporary variant of a sports estate.

Looks like the upcoming Z4 coupe will finally see some competition from Pontiac in terms of utter ugliness.

That thing is just ugly. Is EDAG engineering made up of ex-Aztek designers?
