Ordered a HOT new car!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been following the Solstice ever since it was a concept, but I wanted more power. Well, they just answered my requests, I just ordered the new Solstice GXP with 260HP. This is the first roadster I can fit in comfortably and I'm 6' 4" tall. The design of this car made me fall in love on sight, now the waiting begins, expect delivery by Christmas. gary

color is Sly, dark graphite with black red stiched leather. 5 speed, air, sport package, custom foot pedals, black top. I hope the dealer doesn't sell me out when the car comes in and someone offers him 5 grand over sticker, this has been known to happen with cars this hot. gary

Congrats!  You are comfrotable in the Solstice? I'm 6'4 as well (I'd say that my height is slightly more in my legs-34" inseam-than torso.), and my head was on the roof, and I couldn't even get my legs in. They are teriffic looking cars, and I could only imagine how fun they are to drive, but they are just soo small!

They are actually very slick looking roadsters. The Saturn delare had a couple of Sky's out and while Im not a Saturn fan at all I really liked the agressive looks of the Solstice's brother. Congrats on your purchase, when are you expecting it?

Best looking Pontiacs since the 1973 SD Trans Ams!
I bet you will have a blast in that car, Gary! Where does the line form to get a ride?  |

Autopian note on the Solstice: There is a "clear bra" on the paint where the top's flying buttresses sit when the top is up. No rubbing on the paint to contend with!
