I commented on a u-tube site where a Pontiac motor head had posted some hype from GM on the GPX that it was pathetic that Pontiac, the company that introduced the GTO had come down to these comparisons . I could not believe the responses I got from the pro Pontiac faction. Most of them incomplete sentences punctuated with vulgarities. I guess there are a lot of folks out there that will believe anything they see in an ad or TV.

It is a popular marketing technique. In some ways in can work, in others, it doesn't fool anyone. Again, the Soltice would better be compared to the Miata in terms of price and engines.
