comparison?

Besides road and track or whoever they were, how can you compare the Solstice to the Boxster? I understand they tried, but Jeezz. :troll:

I won't bash the Solstice or Sky b/c I think they are very nice looking rides and provide decent bang for the buck. I wouldn't call them a 'sports' car but they are a good alternative for some open top fun.

Interestingly, several months ago I made a post to the Solstice forum b/c a neighbor of mine bought one and I thought it looked really nice in person. So I just joined and posted a compliment on the site and mentioned I owned a Boxster. Went back a couple days later and there were three pages of postings bashing the Boxster......Porsche drivers are all stuck up snobs etc.....

I think this forum is much more sophisticated and most members can see the benefits of owning other alternatives.

Welcome

I want to drive the 260 HP Solstice. There's a giant billboard of yellow one I noticed on my last trek past Times Square. The front end has special new styling.
