Solstice

[theKind]

I got to see it for the first time in February...



Still not sure what to think. It didn't look bad, but some of the placements play with your eyes a little. I'll probably get used to it...


Hare are a couple more pics of the Solstice...

it is defintitely the Boxster/Beemer that is domestic AND pocketbook friendly. the Eco-Tec has a slew of stock and aftermarket parts capability and compatibility, making it affordable to "tune" as well.
a way more agressive stance than a miata, mr2, or fiero.
a 21st century "trendy" retro look ("it kinda grows on you," as others have said), but still a bit 'heavy'-looking, for something with a 4cyl.
give it a MalibuMaxx/Colorado 5cyl, with Turbo, and if the ecotec was bolted to the trans in RWD from front with no mods, HELL, make it AWD and NOW we're talkin'.
still, nice looking for new vehicle, affordable, but they need to push the envelope with slightly more agressive lines/curves, and do something about 16-28 mpg? my Fiero does 34mpg minimum, and my sled of a Saab9000CSturbo pushes 28-30 in traffic/no cruise, and A/C.

all-in-all, Solstice IS Pontiac. I do like the fact change can sometimes be GOOD.
