The rear axle and differential are from the Sigma-based Cadillac CTS
The interior storage bin is from the Cadillac XLR
The passenger's side airbag, steering column, and exterior and interior door handles are from the Chevrolet Cobalt
The backup lights are from the GMC Envoy
The heating, ventilating, and air conditioning modules are from the Hummer H3The front fog lamp assembly is from the Pontiac Grand Prix
The steering wheel is from the Pontiac Torrent, Pontiac G5, Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Malibu
The 2.4 L Ecotec engine is shared with the Opel Astra, Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Cobalt, and Chevrolet HHR
The five-speed manual transmission is from the Hummer H3, GMC Canyon, and Chevrolet Colorado
The five-speed automatic is from the Cadillac CTS, STS, and SRX
The side view mirrors and AC vents are from the Fiat Barchetta
The seat frames are from the previous generation Opel Corsa

Seems like they reached into the parts bin of other GM cars and up came up with the Solstice...

You know that PTs are like that too right? Lots of cars share way more parts with other cars than manufacturers would like to admit. Keeps the cost down.

Guess, I am trying to find a way to justify those patterns...I like 'em, but not necessarily on a car....

They were very "Indian" patterns and he looked like he might have been Indian himself... Thats the only thing I could see...
