Default Solstice on the Road... Huh?
I'm in San Diego... on my way to work I was following a brand new Solstice. They aren't even out yet. It had weird Michigan tags. Maybe somebody was lucky to get to drive one from Detroit to Cali.

Anyway, it looked really, really good. What a surprise, Pontiac!

It is probably a test mule, or one for a magazine review.

It's a manufacturer tester. I see all kinds of them here in Phoenix. I've seen new Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans, Chevys, Pontiacs, etc. etc. months before they came out...in one case even a year before it came out.

I've also seen a few that we don't get being tested around here.

Yeah, where have you been??

Anyway, I guess it wasn't that rare to see a car that's not out yet!
