Okay...from pontiac's website:
"experience a hi-revving 2.4 liter Ecotec engine that delivers 177 hp and 166 lb-ft of torque"
Not exactly a screamer, but faster than a Miata...

As for being faster than a Miata, at 2800lbs, I doubt it.

put performance aside for now,
if they can deliver $20k + good looks + decent quality/reliablity = it will be a blockbuster.
most already agree that price & look are there...the key is the quality and reliablility...
i like this car to sell a LOT!
so people can realize how finer of a car S2000 is.

If this car (even though it's a pontiac) can cause people to fall in love with roadsters, then we might see the s2000 gain huge amounts of respect among the common driver. I guess this theory is based on the way that many people i know who entered into the sport car realm with mustangs/ camaros, soon had their eye on a corvette or viper.

Is it just me, or does it look like Pontiac is taking some styling cues from TVR?
Likes:
Good Look
Good softop look up, great smooth look down
Decent interior look, makes the car look much more expensive.
......
Dislikes:
Pontiac reliability!
Power...mebbe a factory super will make it more worth while.
Handling at .90 G's is not overly impressive.
Did I mention being a Pontiac???
Will be as common as the Miata...high sales means you'll see one in every American only-mid-life-crisis-50yr old-who-can't-afford-a-vette driveway.

Just like they completley ruined the new GTO IMO
