Got to check out the new Pontiac Solstice...
 
was in canada at girlfriends cottage and a guy next door is a mech. engineer who does engine diagnostics for gm and got to drive one around for a while. it's decent inside, reminds me of the chrysler crossfire. i like the rear end but not much of a fan of the front. the guy said it had a 2.4L 170hp ecotec which i laughed at. he just looked at me. i had expected something with a little more balls than this.

thats only the base model.theres a turbo version which will be the "fast version" in about a year.it'll have somewhere around 250 hp and in a smal roadster will be plenty.Besides,the 170 horse is under $20,000.not bad for a car that according to road and track surpasses the $43,000 bmw z4 on many levels. its kind of like my firebird v-6 vs my newer trans am ls1.
