i didnt get any pics....but i personally liked the 350z....it has i think at least 275 horsepower and it is spacious...you can also get it in 4wd which is definately a good thing living out in jersey...they had a suzuka blue S....but i didnt feel so tempted to get behind the wheel when i saw 3 kids drooling in it....i thought how the rx8's doors opened out the way they did was cool...

Last year, I was in ignorant bliss. Perfectly happy to plod back and forth to work in my '97 Dodge RAM. Then in January, I saw pictures of the Solstice from the Detroit Auto Show in the weekly auto section of the local newspaper. For the next couple of weeks I was obsessed with finding out everything I could about this concept car. I even tried e-mailing Bob Lutz at GM to ask him if he would pretty please do everything he could do to get that car to production. Never got a response, but never really expected to either.
I've never had a car grab me like the Solstice. The more I thought about it the more I wanted a hot little roadster. I got more and more disappointed as I began to realize that the Solstice was at least 2-3 years from reality if ever. I was talking to a friend who had just gotten a Spa yellow. He told me I really ought to look at the S2000's. It didn't take me long to realize that there was a car already in production that would nicely fill my case of the "wants". I now have a Suzuka blue on order and can hardly wait until it gets here. I really hope that GM produces the Solstice. If they do it right, it might compete fairly well with the S2000 both in performance and in mind share.
By the way, after I ordered my S2K, I wrote Bob Lutz another e-mail to tell him he inspired me but unfortunately lost a sale.
