Not bad looking at all! Only the first one I have ever seen on the road.

I wonder if it'll be worth anything in the future as I'm sure there were very few made (~1100 actually as Pontiac was already on the table to be shut down). Here's a review of it (not too favorable):

Much bigger fan of the sky redline

Saturn sky does look better, they had a used hardtop solstice for sale locally by private seller last year. Can't recall what he was asking for it but it was a lot, definately a rare car!!

The Solstice is underpowered though. Nice design.

Soltice gxp can easily get close to 400hp with minor mods

Yup, I was talking base model.

Doesn't the base solstice have the same engine as the cobalt?
Just like our car has basically a corolla/matrix/celica engine.

Prefer a Solstice to a Sky.

The Pontiac has a vintage look to it... almost a Cheetah look to it, but that is probably my imagination.

The coupe is fine and all, but I'm a ragtop kind of guy.

Base has the base cobalt motor and gxp has the tuurbo ss motor

Base has the base cobalt motor and gxp has the tuurbo ss motor

I drove an HHR as a rental after a car accident 6 years ago, that has that same eco tec motor as the base solstice, woefully underpowered.

I'm not sure why you care so much that the base model is under powered. If you need power you get the turbo version. Its pretty simple.

I'm just talking about the style. I know the base model was heavy and underpowered.

Never said I gave a crap about the base car, besides you couldn't get a turbo'ed version before the '07, unless you did it yourself.

It's a nice looking car but not something I would ever buy.

I've driven my friends gxp softop. Gotta love the sound of a turbo without a roof!:wub:
