The Pontiac Solstice is a high point of innovative design. All the planning, engineering and refining culminates in an inspired roadster, delivering what may very well be the perfect open-air driving experience. Fluid lines wrap around the GM global RWD compact performance architecture with unibody construction, and set the stage for crisp response and exhilarating performance delivered by the 177 horsepower 2.4L 4-cylinder ECOTEC DOHC VVT engine. The AISIN 5-speed short throw manual transmission allows for quick gear changes. Four-wheel vented disc brakes slow you down before you accelerate out of the corners while the ergonomic contoured driver's seat holds you firmly in place.

Pros: Tight handling, drop dead style, and a price tag that won't kill the pocketbook.
Cons: 177 horsepower is good but the car screams for the Pontiac traditional motor.
GM did a great job and kept the pricing down.
The wait was long but worth it. I have 3500 miles and not a problem.
Handling is tight as a golf cart and totally fun to drive.
Horsepower is good but it will be ever greater with the new turbo version coming out next year. There is also an after-market turbo kit being worked on for the current owners. Or you can opt out for Mallet's 400 horsepower V-8 if you have the cash.
Styling blows away the competition. If you can get a hold of one to test drive you will fall in love.
GM has a winner and sales proves it.
In the last month there has been 5 companies getting ready to launch there roadsters into the market. My advise is for them to give it up--your cars are ugly and will not touch the fenders of this car.
I am a member of the www.solsticeforum.com site and come check it out for excellent reviews from owners--not automakers. My user is"WantMySoltice" and glad to be a member for such a informative website.
