Selling or how well they are or aren't holding their value.

I cant verify but I remember reading a few months ago that it was a horrible sales failure and they were going to pull the plug on it already. I have nothing against the car, its just what I read.

I see a fair number of Solstices around here - nearly as many as S2000s I see. I see as many Lamborghinis as Skys though.

I know I started seeing used Solstices show up on the lots back in the Summer. As of today, there are 3 used Solstices at a Chevy Dealership about a mile from me. That's not a good sign.

in the sf bay area you see very few. i saw one at carmel last week. i cannot see why anyone would want one except for price. no trunk with the top down and a manual top you gotta go outside thecar to use for starters. nice idea and not bad looking (saturn).

Googling a bit turns up mixed messages. At one point they were outselling the Miata (late 06 and early 07) but lately it seems like they aren't selling too well. But I didn't find exact numbers over time.

Around here, I see them probably a bit more frequently than S2k's. Then again, I don't see many S2k's either.
