They're here!!!!

I just saw a blue Solstice today on base! It was freakin' awesome! Didn't have time to take a pic, but we've all seen them!

I have not seen one since the auto show last year....I sure do want one!...They look absolutely beautiful!!I have been scheming how I will turbo my Solstice when I get one, instead, the rumor is that a turboed version will come out next year!!I think that I will wait till then to buy one. In which, I still may have to upgrade to a bigger turbo, or what ever I need to do to risk my warranty, yet make even more power on a motor that I am sure will take it. The one thing that I learned is that F/I vehicles fromm the factory are usually over built, which means a great opportunity to make ridiculous power. ...awsome looking car though, great price!! I am a fan!

They look great, but compared to the Vibe they seem so frivolously impractical. Maybe if I could afford a bunch of cars at the same time.

I love the wheels on them...wish they fit Vibes.I see Solstices all over teh highways and most of them have car-bras on them. This meets that the owners are fairly intelligent! Isn't that good news? They actuallt want their cars paint to last lol!

It only makes sense that eventhough it is a 2.4 ecotec, that it would be an SC seeing that they have done the cobalt. The eaton SC is very reliable..it will still be great!.

One thing that I love about my car now is that it certainly is trying to be everything. It is a practical wagon , with a luggage rack even! I use it! I haul stuff around in it all the time. The Vibe is also one of the best on fuel economy. I can still get that great mpg as long as I stay out of boost. (which is kinda hard because the novelty still has not worn off)Soo, the vibe can haul strff, carry 5 people, get great fuel economy, and now, hangs with 350z's when racing. Why then would I want a solstice??...well because my wife has a windstar, and the performance bug has bit me HARD! I must admit , that I love the novelty of my car now thoughI would love to race a Solstice...all i need is one of those "you just got beat by a wagon " signs. I dont know if I have the heart to do that to the poor guy though .....(yes i do)

No other Pontiac in the line up has a Turbo and to call it a GTP like the Bonni you would think SC and again not Turboed. And the Colbalt SS is SC... I always thought Turbo was strange.
