I think the Solstice looks a lot better than the Miata. I think they did a great job with the car and I hope it is a success. A stronger engine would be nice and hope the turbo will be nice.

I sit *on* the Miata...er, I mean MX-5...as well. I like the car, but it's like going out and buying a size 11 shoe when I should know better.

I really like the styling of the Solstice, but I will take te Miata over it. I drove it around a small course for a few laps. I hated how the car felt, especially the shifter (although we are spoiled) Plus theres no way to carry anything in that car!

The Miata is the result of 15 years of refinement. I wouldn't buy a Solstice for a couple of years.

Personally..the car is ugly..the Sky is a much better looker.

Anyone wanna guess or know where the front plates might end up?

Gotta be impressed with GM's designers for thinking ahead.

Gotta respect GM not compromising on design... besides, it's a good excuse NOT to have a front plate.

Personally, I like it, although it looks a little too Bugs Bunny if you get a grey one.

LOL! It does look like Bugs Bunny in grey, something always struck me as odd when I saw pics of a grey one, now I know what it is, thanks.

I just saw and sat in a new Solstice at the Pontiac Dealer. I like it better than the new Miata. I don't care if it is slower - the styling is better, the materials quality is the same and the Solstice is cheaper.

Just my $.02
