Think the solstice needed a little more space?

EDAG?s Sportwagon Hardtop is a complete add-on module and contains all functionality including in-glass defroster and a lockable rear hatch to provide access to the trunk space.
The existing convertible top can either be removed from the vehicle during the ?hardtop-phase? or it can remain in the car as is. The removal of the convertible top provides more usable trunk space and can even accommodate two sets of golf clubs!

During the concept phase of the Hardtop it was EDAG?s intention to follow the basic design language of the Pontiac Solstice so that the original dynamic design continues in the styling of the Sportwagon Hardtop.

Darker tinted glass is used for the side and the rear hatch to enhance the rounded and dynamic styling of the hardtop and at the same time provide visual protection for items in the trunk. The glazing starts at the B-pillar and runs completely around the back from side to side, making the C-pillar invisible.

The rear hatch extends into the roofline to provide a larger opening for improved access to the trunk.

That's kinda cool. Although I wish they would have just made it available from the factory in a coupe version.

It takes away from the sporty look though.

2009 or around then, they should have a hardtop option.

Even more reason to build the Chevy Nomad.
