The Kappa architecture uses major components from nearly every GM division and modern platform:

* The rear axle and differential are from the Sigma-based Cadillac CTS

* The Solstice's interior storage bin is from the Y-body Cadillac XLR

* The passenger-side airbag, steering column, and exterior and interior door handles are from the Delta-based Chevrolet Cobalt

* The Solstice's backup lights are from the GMT360 GMC Envoy

* The heating, ventilating, and air conditioning modules are from the Hummer H3

* The Solstice's front fog lamp assembly is from the W-body Pontiac Grand Prix

* The Solstice's steering wheel is from the Theta-based Pontiac Torrent

* The 2.4 L Ecotec engine is shared with the Delta-based Saturn ION, Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Cobalt, and Chevrolet HHR

* The five-speed manual transmission is from the Hummer H3, GMC Canyon, and Chevrolet Colorado

* The five-speed automatic is from the Cadillac CTS, STS, and SRX

thats a smart way to share parts... much better that the costs are shared, but the consumer cant tell its the same (unlike a rebadge, where even those who know nothing about cars can tell certain cars share parts)

Guns don't kill people. Kappa kills People.

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Kappa allows to live.

Kappa does not sleep. He waits.

The chief export of Kappa is Pain.

There is no chin under Kappa' Beard. There is only another fist.

Kappa has two speeds. Walk, and Kill.

The leading causes of death in the United States are: 1. Heart Disease 2. Kappa 3. Cancer

Kappa drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls.

Kappa is my Homeboy.

Kappa doesn't go hunting.... KAPPA GOES KILLING

Cool. Good for GM save money where you can. :)

Makes me think of the Chevette parts (front suspension) used in the Fiero.

...although unlike the Fiero GM did this car right.

I can hardly wait for depreciation to kick in so I can buy a GXP Solstice for about 20k in pristine used condition. Right now they are still holding their value to well used.

I won't tell my son that next time he drives over here in his Sky RL. He'll be so thrilled to know another man kissed his new car.

LOL @ WMJ

I love the Kappas. Can't wait to buy a dirt cheap Solstice 5-speed with ~ 70K on it for a toy...
