Doesn't look bad, but not super either.

Oh and just to toss in my two pennies, Miatas rock

I like both the Solstice and the Sky(the Sky more though) and to be honest the only thing that detracts me from wanting one is the vert top. That thing is a PITA to put up and down, fix this and you will have an easier time selling them. Though just from a design stand point the Solstice and Sky look way better then the current Miata. Now from a mechanical and functional stand point the Miata is a way better car. Oh and I found this additional pic of the Razor concept from Dodge and it doesn't look too great from this angle IMHO.

As for the Solstice selling more, 2007 will be a telling a year. We'll see if it continues to sell at the same pace now that the "new" has worn off of it.
Well, it looks like the "new" might just be wearing off. According to this GM Press Release, Solstice sales are down 58.5% compared to January 2006.

The other interesting item of note is that Silverado sales are down 3.3% on sales-days adjusted basis. That doesn't sound too great for a hot new product.

They made a 2 seater concept like that called the copperhead about ten years ago. If they had brought it out five years ago they probably woulda snagged a lot of the sales that GM is getting now.

I agree, the Copperhead was a nice looking car. Not to mention the copperhead and the Prowler were both V6's which I prefer over 4cyl. Still the only thing they ever did with it was use the name for one of the Vipers paint colors.
