Solstice - What a name !

I just saw a Pontiac commercial this evening showing all the current
line up offered ( less the Bonneville ). At the very end an image popped
up of the Solstice and mention was made of it being forthcoming.

I was trying to come up with some other name for the car. So far I got
~_~_>>>

1. Petiteza ( prononuced Petite Zah ).
2. Lemanza.
3. Lemaz.
4. P / 06
5. Piata ( Mazda rip off ).
6. Phirrahna

There could also be GT versions of the above models.

Feel free to add to the list...

Stupid name for a sports car. Think of how it sounds when someone asks you
what you drive...."I have a Solstice" sounds lame as hell.

Since the car company is based off of a Native American name why not use
Native American names when ever possible?

The Bonneville and GP share the same drivetrain, which is basically why the
Bonneville has become a poor seller. For the $35k+ sticker of the Bonne,
you can get an extremely loaded GP. Therefore, dealers aren't stocking
them, and buyers aren't buying them.

No one is banking on the GTO being the flagship. It's a limited production
car, to begin with...

How about just going to a numbering scheme?
