DeLorean Motor Co., has this image at the top of one of its Web sites promoting what it is calling the DeLorean Solstice.
Call Michael J. Fox, DeLorean might be back in the business of making new cars. And the car? A redux of the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky, which ended production in July.
Much has been written about why Saturn was somewhat of a success through much of the 1990s.
Even though General Motors starved the brand for new products, those who bought Saturns back then loved them.

I distinctly remember the day four years ago when the Pontiac Solstice first showed up in my driveway. I was giddy. Here was a car that was among the most beautiful cars in memory, recent or otherwise.
Had General Motors turned a corner? Was the plodding Detroit automaker finally done with snoozers — too many to list, but including the Pontiac Sunfire, Cadillac Catera, Chevrolet Corsica — and silly styling debacles — Pontiac Aztek and Pontiac Grand Am?
Many in the automotive press thought the inexpensive Solstice, as well as its more upscale twin, the Saturn Sky, were better looking than some cars costing twice as much. Seriously, a Porsche Boxster is a handsome car, but remove the badges and which is hotter? How about comparing the twins to a Mazda Miata? It’s no contest. The Solstice/Sky are hands-down winners.
