I seen a couple running around in the past couple of weeks. They look really good.

 

i kinda dig the top up..would look cool if it was a hard to with that shape

 

I saw one the other day and thought it looked better than the pictures.

 

yeah it was a pretty :notnice: day today. personally i think it would be too small for me, but i want to drive one next summer.

 

I have not seen one yet! and this should be solcstice country over here.

 

looks great

 

I kind of like it (only seen one so far) and think the Saturn Sky will look even better.

 

I recently read a review that pitted it up against the revised Mazda Miata. The Miata kicked it's posterior area. Not exactly impressive.

 

My take on the solstice is it will sell well for a few years but it won't have the cult following the miata has.

Had just a few dollars more been invested the car would be an absolute home run. The convertible top is not as convenient as the miatas and the trunk is absolutely useless. This is a weekend toy for most. It would probably conquest a lot of miatas if you could fit a golfbag or a cooler in the trunk.

 

Like this?



When I first saw pics of the Solstice back in 02, they had a coupe and a droptop. I love the coupe. I'll take one, thanks.

 

I totally agree. Did you see the article in the Toronto Star on Saturday? A few guys did a write up on it. The biggest beef was the top, and the cheaping out in certain aspects of the car. Personally I think that GM should have put a bigger engine in it and sell it for a bit for and up the quality and it would sell

 

actually paul I wasn't thinking like the coupe but a hard top that is the exact same shape as the soft top when up

 

I saw three on the way to and at the Concours d'Elegance in Hilton Head a few weeks ago
