We saw it in the flesh a couple weeks ago and were sworn to secrecy, we revealed the explosion of pics and press release at midnight today, but now we've got live and in the flesh shots of the 2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe . The targa-topped coupe sure is sleek in its fine new enclosed coupe styling, and there was a bit of the swoon on in the room when it was unveiled. The coupe gets the same Ecotec powertrain options from the original style 2.4L with 173 HP as well as the GXP hoontastic 260 HP 2.0L turbo mill. Its possible we're slightly disappointed GM didn't go all out with T-tops, but beggers can't be choosers. We'll be getting the full compliment of live shots up as soon as we can. galleryPost('2009PontiacSolsticeCoupe', 11, '2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe with a little Jazz'); PONTIAC UNVEILS 2009 SOLSTICE COUPE Hardtop Extends Appeal of Classic Design NEW YORK - Drawing inspiration from classic sports cars, the 2009 Pontiac Solstice coupe was created...

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/2009_Pontiac_Solstice_Coupe_Brings_Transformer_Back_To_Life'; You knew him as Jazz before he was so handily destroyed -- ripped asunder, really -- by Megatron. You also knew him as the Pontiac Solstice. But that never quite fit, did it -- because he wasn't a convertible in the movie. Well, now he's been truly revealed as a production model, and most importantly as a coupe -- the 2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe to be exact. Yes, that's right, the absolutely gorgeous alt-mode of the Autobot recon man's been brought back to live in a fully production targa-topped coupe -- and what else can we say other than we're having a very private robogasm right now -- especially over the lines of this sleek little two-seater. Full press release after the jump. galleryPost('2009PontiacSolsticeCoupe', 11, '2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe Is Jazz'); PONTIAC UNVEILS 2009 SOLSTICE COUPE Hardtop Extends Appeal of Classic Design NEW YORK...

Maybe they'll be changing the name of the "GM display" at the New York Auto Show this week to the "Pontiac display." All we know is they'll be doing a lot of driving excitement at the show. We've already revealed the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP and more importantly, the 2010 Pontiac G8 "El Camino" sport truck . Now they've accidentally revealed the 2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe in an ad button on the official Pontiac site -- further confirming what we'd already told you about the targa-topped Solstice coupe . Awww...poor Pontiac. Well, there had to be a misstep somewhere -- and accidentally revealing a hot little tamale like a coupe-roofed Solstice ain't a bad way to misstep. Since we've seen this hard removable-topped coupe in person we can say it's much hotter than the over-pixelated shot above -- with a gorgeous line running from the front of the Jazz -y transformer-wannabe around the coupe-top in the rear and all the way back to the...
