before i looked at it. i was thinking "well, its a pontiac, so its probably ugly"

but then i looked at the side pictures and thougth it didnt look to bad, kind of cool actually.
then i saw the front and back. blah.

well, its a lot better than the Vibe or Aztek, but its still not something i would ever want to drive around.
i know a lot of people say the same thing about nissans though.
so.. cool car :)

Eh, no thanks. I'll wait out for the Holdens they are bringing over under the Pontiac GTO brand name.

I'm assuming this is FWD. Something about a FWD car with 280HP/280 ft. lbs going to the two front wheels is somewhat unerving to me.

Front=good
Side=fair
Rear=fugly

All things considered, not bad. I'd be willing to look at it if I was in the market for that sized car.

I know they had this car at the Chicago Auto Show. It looked pretty sweet actually. I like all the power and torque but im not a fan of FWD.

That was my first impression but the rear is kinda growing on me

OOOHHHH!!! Paddle shifters on the steering wheel! Cool doohickey! Also .85 G on the skid pad and 155 mph top speed is very respectable.

Very nice.

It seems GM has been coming out with some nice designs since Lutz took over.:D

I never did like the rear of those Pontiac Grand AM/Prix/Sunfires. The front and the side looks slick though. Looks like a modification of the body from previous Pontiac cars. The Aztech is one of the uglier vehicles that I've seen on the road. Ugh. Of course, that's just one man's opinion.

its too long, if they cut the length about 1 ft or 2 ft it would look much better

I agree with this assessment. But if I buy a Pontiac anytime soon, I want it to be the Solstice. I really like the look of this car, I hope they make it. Bob Lutz from what I've read has done a good job getting fresh ideas to concept. Hopefully he can get this from concept to production soon, cuz I'll be in market for a new car in the next year and a half or so. :)

The convertible looks nice, but I need a hardtop car b/c the ocean air at my house ate through my dads convertible a few years ago, little too harsh.

<< "fairy looking"

hardly... this thing is a beast
>>



IMO it looks like a fairy car. GM has a problem with that these days *cough* new gen Sunfire *cough*

The front and rear really screw it up, but at least the rims are nice :)

Who wants to explain what Paddle shifters are? Car novice here

My g/f thought they were little speakers on the stearing wheel
