Default Pontiac Solstice?

Interesting car. Looks are very good (to me, no matter what I said before) saw the red version two days ago. Very Cool!

It's pretty curvy all right, but has no internal storage space (at all). I guess it makes a good commuter car. However, the coming turbo version is going to be a force to be reckoned with. At 260HP (stock) and under 3000lbs, it should be both torquey and pretty fast too. I suspect that this version should be proper motivation for Mazda to release a Mazdaspeed version of the Miata to compete. Too bad Honda refuses to do anything to pump up the S2000. Sure would be nice to have a 300HP S2000 - even if it was an optional engine.

That car looks stupid from the front imo.

Turbo Seminar- Turbos make your car faster. Everyone should buy at least one. The end.
