I finally saw a Solstice on the road
I finally saw my first Solstice in the flesh this morning on the way to work. Very nice! The front end is still a little cartoony (although it's better in person than in pics), and the back end is very aggressive.
Good looking car! I'm looking forward to an opportunity to drive one.

Truly cartoony is the first Solstice I saw. It was on a transport, situated nose up. Intriguing, but cartoony.
Saw a couple over the weekend tooling about, and I'm pleased with its appearance. It looks great from the rear and side. Even looks good from the front when it's sitting on the ground instead of with its nose in the air.
Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org

I have seen a few on the road. Not really a car I care to have or want to drive. IMO from what I have seen in pics I think the Saturn SKY Looks better.
No more Miata
I saw my first one on my way to work yesterday. Have to say I didn't think it looked good from any angle. Didn't do anything for me.

cartoony?Not much more cartoony than the NC IMO. I think the new Ferrari 430 abomination wins the award for most cartoony pos! looks like a chimpmunk with those intake holes in the front bumper!

Saw a bright blue NC in my neighborhood on Saturday. Looks good! Reminds me of the NA more than the NB.
Also saw Santa tooling around on Plano Parkway in a white Solstice the weekend before. I didn't get a close look as Santa got lost in traffic, crazy ole' elf!
cartoony?
ohhhhh- thats just pure blasphmy.
that is a beautiful car.
The 360 was a beautiful car. This looks like the idiots at Ferrari took a clay model of the 360 then kicked it in the front bumper giving it fat cheeks and then pulled the headlights back by stretching the face! After getting bored and running out of drugs to smoke giving them no new ideas, they cut the back half of the Enzo off to complete the new 430.ohhhhh- thats just pure blasphmy.

I wouldn't kick it out of my garage.
