Quote, originally posted by Left Lane News »For the first time since its 1989 debut, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is not America's top selling roadster. According to Automotive News, the Pontiac Solstice has a significant lead over Mazda's popular two-seater in 2006.In the first eleven months of the year, GM sold 18,361 Solstices, compared with 15,873 Miatas. What's more, that figure doesn't include the Sky, which is virtually the same vehicle, sold under GM's Saturn brand.Source:

When the Miata first came out my mom's boss got one and she came by our house to show it to us. I fell in love with that car. But the Solstice is hot. Its sexy. I love it.

Love the Solstice. If it could carrry two German Shepherds, I would've bought one. Way to go Pontiac. GM needs more "outside of the box" cars.
