yeah man those cars are pure sex. they look quite muscular for a 4 cyl, 2 seater, convertible.

there is a red one with a black top that i see around brandon quite a bit. i will own one of those cars some day.

they should perform great..although they look a bit controversial

i want to see a Best Motoring Tsukaba battle..just to see how they faire against the competition:
Solstice vs Sky vs Skyline [G35] vs Fairlady Z vs S2000 vs M3 vs Altezza vs WRX vs EVO

ULTIMATE BATTLE!

I saw one at Burger King on Sat night. I thought it was a good looking car, and it had quite a crowd around it.

well... first of all, they would get thier shit rocked by pretty much every car but the Altezza...lol...but A for effort.

put the Solstice and Sky up against Mazdaspeed MX-5, S2000, MR-S, and maybe DC5-R and Lotus Elise (not 111R, but the base model thats not available in US the ~120hp one) like in factory fighters...that would be nice

Went and looked at a Solstice tonight at a dealer in Palm Harbor...great car - very wide! The seats are absolutely HORRIBLE! Way way WAY too soft - felt like I'd slide underneath the dash first time I hit the brakes! Hell, just pushing in the clutch caused me to slide down a couple inches.

Didn't have a chance to drive it because, well, it was about 11pm. I love the Corvette-esque bonnet!

I saw a white one when I went down to NOPI at Bradenton a couple weeks back. I also saw the SKY and I'm in love.

Both should be at the international car show deal next week at the Convention Center. You won't be able to sit in the SKY yet because it's only a preproduction model....but it has an engine under the hood and is drivable

They are going to supercharge the redline version but will possibly switch over to a turbo in the next couple years.
