It's amazing all the nice things other Solstice owners had to say about our car!

Of course there are some that say the miata is ugly, corners like a boat etc but the ones that know what it can do chime in and say it's a great car.
Um, like us! Speaking of the NC of course! :puker:Quote:

I think the NC looks like a bucket of smashed buttholes, but I'll defend it to my last breath from Solstice drivers :D
Well, I love the NC. Fix the 4x4 stance and it is a winner in my book.
In that case I'll rephrase my statement...Quote:

Okay I'll admit it's kinda pretty once it's lowered. I don't know what I'm saying. You can put me on ignore :(

I wished that I had only had the since to put my money on the Toyota MR2 rather than the Fiat. I would probably still have it in my collection, whereas the Fiat lived up to it's name(Fix it again Tony).
Personally, I think the backside looks totally wicked. Unfortunately, the front is fugly. If they had changed that I would have loved it; I was stoked when it was announced but then disappointed when I saw it :(Quote:

I'm going to need pics of that one for a visual.
Who is buying the Solstice or the Sky for that matter. I have only seen 2 Solstices on the road and no Skys.
I've seen mostly chicks driving Solstices... and all of a sudden I've started seeing Skys, driven by people convinced they got a good deal at a happy Saturn dealer... :rolleyes:Quote:

The Sol-sky strikes me as more of a show car that made it to production, rather than something that can actually be used every day.

I'd also take a Mazda over any GM product any day regardless of any automobile journalist's opinion.
Let's see how much of a following the GM Sisters have in 20 years. We'll also see how many 200k mile ones are driving around in 10 years. The Miata is bullet proof and a classic.
Think GM will sell anywhere near a half million units before they drop it?
oops... Boo2Quote:
