Default pontiac solstice 06

what do you guys think about the new pontiac solstice roadster?


I seen pics of the new mazda miata (mx-5), the s2k still looks nicer to me.

I thought the Solstice and the Sky looked fairly similar, and much to my surprise, both are in fact the same car (chassis anyway).
The following is from TestDrive.com
Saturn is no longer a separate company from GM the way it was, and all of its future products will be built on one of GM's platforms from around the world. In the case of the Sky roadster, it is built on GM's small rear-drive Kappa platform that so far is shared only with the coming Pontiac Solstice roadster.
I still think both look like someone took a bunch of spare parts from broken down concept cars, and superglued them together. Neither have flowing lines or even a classic roadster look, for that matter.
I actually think the Fiat X-1/9 looked better.
Just my opinion.

well said

I think they look like shit, and I'm sure that's what they'll perform like too...at least compared our cars.

I think the saturn sky is pretty, but I'd rather have a new Miata than one of those and an s2000 than any of those!
