:( traded in my 8
It is nice looking but I still prefer the 8. Besides having more HP then the Solstice I can also pack my kids around in my 8. Something not possible with the Solstice.. I guess I could throw one of them in the trunk just joking... I don't need family advocacy knocking on the door.

Haha, AND he got a truck right next to him! I swear that as cars get smaller, the probability for a huge truck parking on at least one side of you increases exponentially. It's the same idea with parking really far out in the boonies. When you park out there, the further away you are from civilization, the more cars you'll have parked on either side of you when you get back.
Anyway, nice car - it's a shame they forgot to give it a trunk because I would REALLY like to own one (or a Sky) as my next car. I just don't think I could live with the comically small trunk.

LOL thats a Ford F350 Crew Cab Monster Truck Super Duty Lariat Whatever truck - it could smash us both!
I like the Sky better also, but the seats in the Soltice are really soft and cushie. He said that once the top folds up in the trunk, there is no room left in it. The RX8 clearly was an engineering marvel for space - thats for sure.

Yeah, the Sky is better looking...but I like the Solstice butt better with the Sky's face and interiror.
You know they are talking about a coupe right? It will probably be a 2 seater also since they are dealing with limited space.
What I would have loved to see, would have been a 2+2 larger Solstice/Sky with their 3.6L V6 making 270HP...all for 25K, sweeeeeeeeet. Heck...keep the Ecotec Turbo and keep it's weight down to 2700....sweeeeeet.

I still like the external styling of the Solstice better, but the Sky clearly has the better interior. I'm thinking specifically about the center of the dash. The Sky's looks like a normal car, the Solstice still has PontiacPlastic-itis, with that big fat Nike-swoosh piece of dull plastic.
You know what's really great about these cars? Even if they're well built, you'll be able to pick up lightly used ones for nearly nothing in a couple years. Miatas are like that already, but these are GM products after all, so they should drop even faster.

I've driven the Solstice around a track. From the outside - especially in black, it looks like a very impressive car. In the driver's seat, it didn't feel very special, in fact it felt and sounded like a low end econobox.
