Well....
One thing that is nice about this board is the general absence of car-bashing. OK we make the occasional smirk on the Z4 or the SLK or now the Solstice. But I'll say one thing that I think is really cool about this board is that the members seem to be pretty level headed about cars.
With that I'll say that the Solstice is a good step for American cars! It give the Corvette club another option to buy American, but at a cheaper price point. I'm guessing it will compete more with the Mustang convertible.
I can't imagine it will ever challenge our Boxsters for the top of the pure sportscar performance.
