Save yourself some time...just throw on a skirt and buy yourself a Miata. 😀


Spoken like a true front wheel drive, automatic owner. 🙂

Nope...4WD '05 Xterra owner here. Although I will admit, I do miss the feel of a manual tranny. Much easier to pass Cheerios back to the baby and put on her Dora The Explorer cd with the automatic, however. 😉

Nice posermobile you got there. 4300lb small truck? :roll:

its like the trans am and camero, basically the same car with subtle differences

That's what I was thinking. They are the same car...
 
Anyone here actually buy either of these yet ?

Also, anyone ever here of someone buying a solstice for close to the $19,995 it was supposed to cost ?

i in theory, could buy it for about 18 grand no matter what., but no, most of them that are at dealers are marked up just to get foot traffic
 
Saw my first Solstice in person yesterday. Absolutely gorgeous car. The one I saw was silver and I even spoke with the owner for a few minutes. He had paid $24K for his and it was the non turbo model.

24k would be loaded out every option.

and yes, the silver is GORGEUS.
 
It really is a toss up for me. One day I like the Solstice better..one day I like the Sky. Either way...I would want the turbo'ed version.

The Sky is NOT based off a Lotus Elise.

The Sky will be a much larger car, and its Front Engine, RWD. The Elise is Mid-Engined RWD, and much smaller (not to mention, weighs about 900lbs less).

The Sky and the Solstice share the same platform (Kappa Platform), same engine and same transmission. There will practically be no performance difference between the two cars. Lotus has NOTHING to do with the Sky/Solstice.[/quote]

Exactly...

same car slightly different styling..

either one is a great little convertable..
and the new 260hp version of the Solstace is calling my name.. nice toy..
