The Solstice is a very nice looking car and I think a good value for the money. Not in any way a real competitor to Cayman, price being what, half that of the Porsche?
Anyway, I wouldn't rag on it, it is nice for what it is.

I was just about to type this. haha...
Seriously though, I don't think there's too many of us that have our boxsters as DDs. That said, I love my box, but it is small and at best, will accomodate my luggage if traveling for a weekend. Don't even get me started on the girlfriend (LOL I need a Uhaul trailer for that one). Anyway, I don't mind the solstice...its just when they start thinking they are anything near a P-car is when it gets silly. Porsche was a "want" of mine for a long time and now it is certainly an "addiction" a "way of life" even. Its a different feeling driving these cars and no Pontiac owner would understand IMHO So, i'll just let them be. You can't miss something you've never had...right?? LOL

I think the Solstice looks great. And that's where the positives end. If you're thinking of buying one, take one for a test drive - once you do, you won't want one anymore. Everything about it is cheap, clunky and flimsy and the ride is buzzy and grating.
And as a former Pontiac owner, if you think Porsche service is bad, you haven't experienced anything til you've owned a Pontiac. So bad I've sworn off ever owning another GM car.

Try and put somthing in the trunk of the Solstice........Ah Ha you can't :dance:
Now put the top down and try. What still no room 
I guess you could have the passenger hold whatever it is you need to bring with you....

I don't mind the way it looks, but that is all it has going for it.
I just have a lot of trouble with the trunk. Because even as a weekend only car, you can't even fit a tennis racket, let alone a set of gold clubs in it.

I rented a G6 GT recently and was impressed. Given the price, it was a lot of car for the dough, handled well, was tight and quiet.
Having said that, the GM dealer network is what it is, not very good.

It seems like every time we go to Seattle to visit my daughter and family, I end up with a four door standard G6.
