    Please note that the pic on the left IS NOT Jazz.

    Here's the main article: http://jalopnik.com/5113113/gm-to-au...rporate-museum

    You have to look for his name down on the list.

    But for a TF fan with money in his/her pocket it's a dream come true.

    Ya know, if you think of it, TF2 seems like the only decent bailout GM is gonna get.

    Ha! So when Bay said Jazz is dead, he simply meant this car?

    Yeah, it sucks GM has to sell out those cars.. but if Jazz will be back by any chance, he doesn't have to keep being Solstice.
    But if this was a movie Peterbilt, I'd have gone nuts!

    Let's see...Pontiac and Saturn are rumored to be up for sale...Jazz as a Cadillac?

    You do realize that we are mis-informing...or are we?

    We are part of the mis-information campaign and we don't even know it! HA! That's Dreamworks'/Hasbro's plot...making us misinform ourselves! How clever!

    the cars in that list are amazing one off creations. Ford did this a while back selling off some of its concepts and proto's in its collection.

    Just a shame that they would sell these but some lucky collectors will get a peice of auto history.

    Also Pontiac is not gone..shrinking but not gone. Saturn is...its a toss up and GM has till the end of March to come to a conclusion.

    Pontiac is in the top 3 in sales for GM. And Jazz I think is going to be a big catch for someone. If I had the money I would buy it and repro the peices using the original as a mold. So many on the Solstice board want a Jazz so bad.

    A guy in my complex is an engineer for a firm that produced after-market kits for the Solstice and Sky. I spent some time in their hardtop kit. I thought it was poorly designed with way too much vibration.

    I will be sad to see Saturn go. Hopefully they will find a buyer. The Saturn product was a good little car. I personally think they helped change the car buying mentality in the 90's.

    Would love to see a website or something for thier offerings for the Sky.
    And yea many of the kits for the aftermarket are not perfect on the two.

    I really dont think they thought of a hardtop to fit on these cars at all.

    it really is a shame, but I'd definately take advantage of this... IF I had the money.
