Exclusive First
Orders Received from Customers in 47 States
DETROIT - One thousand
lucky driving enthusiasts are looking forward to receiving an exclusive
version of the new Pontiac Solstice roadster after being first in
line to participate in a special promotion announced on Thursday
night's episode of NBC's The Apprentice. Only 41 minutes were required
to sell out of the specially-badged "First 1,000" Solstices.
"With the great response
we've seen to the design and performance features being offered
in our new Pontiacs, we were expecting many customers to jump at
the chance to order one of the first Solstices," said John Larson,
general manager of Buick-Pontiac-GMC. "But we were thrilled that
we achieved such amazing results so quickly."
Orders were received from more
than 650 dealers in 47 states. Additionally, more than 4,000 customers have
asked to be placed on the wait list for one of the exclusive vehicles.

The Solstice early order program
will continue through Sunday, April 24. Although the exclusive "First 1,000"
cars have been ordered, Pontiac dealers have an additional allotment of
Solstices available for pre-order during this period.
