Default I think it's actually pretty sweet. I always liked the Solstice roadster but a vert is impractical

for me, so I was rather interested when I heard they were making the coupe.

Performance is actually pretty impressive (as it is on the roaster). I can't wait to see it in person. I am a little disappointed in the trunk space, but the roadster's trunk is really pathetic, so it is an improvement.

I did read on the Solstice forum that dealers are taking orders for it, although that plant is currently idle so production may be delayed for a bit.

Yeah I don't understand why they didn't design the entire hatch to open -- just the window?

Default And with a removable lid, I'd guess they'd actually sell a few of those. I'm too bent from

already having to give all my tax $$$ to the f'n worthless UAW to actually buy another American car in the next 50 years or so. But, sans lacking quality, it'd probably be fun to steal and flog.

The all-manual top was the deal breaker for me
