I had the same dilema 2 years ago. S2000 won.

The Solstice is funky-looking and will look outdated very soon. The S has classic lines and still looks very good on the road; not so much in stock photos.

The S has one of the best-looking front ends, IMO:



The rear and hind quarters need some work.

The Solstice looks cheap. Huge panel gaps, lots of plastic - it works a stand in sports car on a billboard or television commercial because it does have a great overall shape, but in person the appeal quickly fades when materials and fit and finish come into play.

S2000 for me.

How do people even find Solstice appealing?

This. You could make an argument that it looks better from the outside, but inside it looks like ass.

I dont like the solstice what so ever, i think its awful in every way. I however do find the sky's more appealing esspacially the GXP coupes. They are pretty sharp. but interms of fit and finish and overall quality the sky and solstice are the same.

between the two kappa roadters, I'd choose the Sky for looks over the Solstice.

S2000 vs Solstice--the S2000 wins by far IMO.

S2000 vs Sky would make for a much better debate. I think the Sky is a much nicer looking car than the Solstice.

I think with the Sky, the look is good but in a more trendy style. The S2000 has rather classic proportions. Sometimes I think the Sky looks better, but then when they drive by, they don't really catch my eye the same way, so I go back and forth.

I do think the Kappas don't have near the fit and finish of the S. The S is dated in some ways, but it never feels cheap or low quality to me. The Kappas do, unfortunately.
