Did you honestly think you get an unbiased opinion posting about a GM car on a mostly Ford dominated forum?
Had GM originally stuck with the original release date I'd probably have a Solstice right now, getting ready for a little turbo and some new suspension mods :-). At that time I never thought I could get a mustang though. It's a great little car, and handles amazing on a smaller corvette chasis.

Guys,
Check this out.
K's into all this stuff. Leather too. That's it, I'm moving to Canada.
K, on a serious note, where is that ski resort? Is that part of the Canadian Rockies?

Gentlemen...I think we have found what I term "The Perfect Woman". Mustangs and motorcycles...I think Toronto may have something there!

C'mon you guys! Give poor Kristina a break! 
We're up here in the great white north, she can't turn around her lips are frozen to her grill emblem!
You'll only ever do it once!

I've liked the Solstice ever since I first saw pictures of the prototype years ago. I actually prefer the coupe version that they had back then. I hope they make the fastback coupe someday...it's the first car that really spoke to me.
You can't tell me that isn't a sexy beast. Throw a turbo'd V6 in there...well, we can dream, can't we?

Like everyone else said, get your wife what she wants.
Does she really want a new car? If so, what kind?
My wife pointed out a saphire (sp?) ring a few weeks ago. Asked if there was any opportunity for me to buy it for her in the future...
Heck yeah there's an opportunity! It will be in the glove compartment of my '06 GT when it arrives in a few weeks. She has been telling me to get everything I want for my new car, so she deserves a little something too. It's not a second 'Stang, but it will have to do for a few years...

They had a write up in Popular Science on the Solstice several years ago. It is in the Guiness Book of World Records as the fastest production car ever built. That car is a sweety but impractical for a poor old family man/woman. I was on the short list (Pontiac Lottery) to get one of the special 1st 1000 serialized cars but alas....my name wasnt drawn. So I bought a G6.

I've liked the Solstice ever since I first saw it. Reminds me of an old Porsche 356B. Before you surprise your wife, make sure she likes it, too. As far as being slow, c'mon, those little roadsters are made for fun and handling. They're not meant to be rockets. As far as not wanting to go with GM, I think that's narrow minded(still an American car). If I like a car, I like the car, regardless of who makes it (just like in politics, I don't like voting along party lines regardless of whether I like the candidate). If you like it, I say "do it."

HAHA hey guys - I'm busy all morning with our client and I come back to this...hehe
I dunno what it is - maybe it IS the name - my parents actually wanted it to be Krystina but thought the K was different enough without making it more of a headache by adding the Y.
haha Matthew eh? Seems like a common name for me Seems like you posted something different but then edited it?? Dunno - but yep, Canadian girls rock...
As mentioned, the pics of my family are up on the top of Whistler Mountain - one of our largest ski resorts, out north of Vancouver in B.C. I've been lucky enough to be going out there since I was 5 or so...It's amazing, esp at the peak when it's nice and sunny. Some days though it can be crazy nasty weather all the way up there.
Motorcycles - always loved them, even before cars I think...but couldn't afford one until a couple of years ago. nothing beats a good sport bike on a track. this year i finally dragged a knee...was an amazing feeling!
65gtfaskback - ya luckily the day I picked her up it was pretty warm but darn if you ever are dumb enough to do that in the winter...shame on you!
tom_vilsak - i work about 30 seconds from the ACC so sometime when I can, I'll try and take a pic for you...these days tickets for leaf games are $$$$$ though
ok well i think i've addressed all the posts
on topic: no, i don't think they will make a V6, let alone a V8 solstice...someone may do that aftermarket, but GM has always been firm in saying the kappa platform was never designed for an engine larger then a 4cyl.
