big deal if there is no auto. i think there are enough stick drivers out there to make a small splash with the vehicle this year. then everyone who didn't learn to drive stick can buy one next year.
it's almost an elite group - those that like the solstice and drive stick. not everyone who likes one will buy one, either, so that pares the numbers down even more. i like it. not an admittedly smart business move for a company posting record losses, though.
