Solstice To Holden?

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

Dumb question(s)

*Can the Solstice be produced for RHD

*If so, do you think it could make its way down under, possibly as a reciprocal item for the G8?

I'd love to see it come here, especially as a MX-5 fighter...

Sad news, but, no. The Kappa cars (Solstice, Sky, GT), cannot be built to suit right-hand-drive markets. It's also because of that same reason that there is no Vauxhall version of the GT.

Oh no... oh well, looks like the MX is going to own the market. Unless you can afford an Elfin Clubman.

Thank you!

Thats not to say a second gen would not be built to suit RHD needs.

You can count on it!

In that case, i'd be hoping that Holden would be eyeing the car off rather keenly.

I can see it now the down under will be complaining the car looks to radical and too much like a Pontiac and not a Holden!!! :lol:

If for anything, if Holden does get Kappa, it'll be the Sky/Opel GT, not Solstice.

But yeah, Kappa can't do RHD.
