Why was the Pontiac Solstice discontinued?

The Pontiac Solstice was discontinued primarily due to General Motors' financial struggles and subsequent bankruptcy in 2009. The company decided to eliminate the Pontiac brand as part of its restructuring plan, which aimed to focus on more profitable divisions. Additionally, declining sales in the sports car segment and increased competition contributed to the decision to end production. The last Solstice was produced in 2009, marking the end of the model's run.
