Looked at Vettes, Crossfires, Skys, and Solstice -- bought the Solstice GXP eight months ago and already have 15K+ miles and I'm retired. Would do it all over again without question. Fun to drive and the Solstice/Sky folks I have met are an added bonus. Just liked the looks of the SOL over the Sky. Only thing better about the Opel GT, got to experience one in Vienna last Sept, in the "water fall." That's the piece between the seats and the Europeans take their driving serious enough to NOT include a cup holder.

My girl has a Solstice. I have mixed feelings about driving it.. It handles like it's on rails, but there's zero room in it.

Now I may be a bit biased on this issue, but i think both cars are nice. I'd still end up with a new miata though.
Miatas are something like 2600 lbs with 166 hp... the sky is something like 3k lbs with 177 hp. Numbers aside, I really dig the looks of the new body style w/ fat rubber

That miata looks pretty good.

The motor on these things is so beautiful. Even with that tiny-ass turbo (no lag) just a tune should should net about 300whp. When GM helped out the guys at the runoffs last year they were seeing some insane numbers (given: out of the normal operating parameters of the turbo) and they obviously whipped up on every other car there.
I don't know who complains about a stock car but they are awesome platforms to build really fun cars from. Glad to see a domestic offer an inexpensive 50/50 RWD platform for us to play with. Obviously have some places to improve on - thank god, shit'd be boring if you could buy a $20 something car and be done.
Cheers - glad to see you made it over.

I'm not sure why you never see them. I see Sky and Sols about 25 times a day. You really can't tell them apart from the regular ones unless you see them from behind.
