They have talked about this car for a long time. I hope they finally introduce it though I am already happy with my car.

Their story is that under the skin it is a Solstice, even down to the AC ducts.

I think it's a nice looking car. I might spend $0.50 on a picture of it.

Would I want to drive or own one? That's another story. I suppose if $25K was my absolute limit, and I really wanted a new car, then it might be a good option.

The car will be equipped with a 2.4-liter, 170-hp Ecotec four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing as well as a five-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shifter. A five-speed automatic will be optional.


why bother?

The usual GM rubbish. Those engine specs are so seriously outdated. Looking at that description already bores me. Only 170bhp from a 2.4 litre engine? Blah, wake up GM.
