Default saw one of these on the road yesterday....

and it looked.....to my surprise.....BEAUTIFUL.

it seriously looked like a much more expensive car than it was. Kind of reminded me of a smaller, cheaper BMW Z8. Pontiac really has done a fantastic job at making the exterior of the Solstice look nice and well made. I haven't seen the interior of the car yet.....but it looked very nice cruising down woodward.

Default ICK to each his own

it would be a nice car if it wasnt for its front, it looks like a goofy hick.
But your pic doesnt show that, so the pic looks nice

For the price, it is a pretty amazing package.

Default I saw one at the St. Louis car show.....

and I think it's pretty low on oomph. I think it had a 170 hp engine and it didn't seem all that light.

It just begs for mods... which, of course, is what will happen.

Default My father works for GM, he is a GM for pontiac group

Any how, I got to drive one - it's pretty nimble Thinking of getting one, once the TT is paid off. Nothing like getting one for the GM price.. plus they are very hard to get. The dealer my father is at has 25 orders with 1000.00 deposits. And the dealer even as big as it is - only get's 10 at first delivery. Whooo! :X

Default One of the Apprentice Shows did an episode on the Soltice -..........

Also saw it at the Chicago auto show. I think it will be a big seller if the power to weight is good.

Well proportioned looking car.
