I was going out with my kids last night and a grey Solstice (sp) came past. I drovenext to it for about 3 miles. NICE CAR (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) I want one of those. The only problem and it aint a big deal is the front plate (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) No photos I got to start keeping a cheap camera in the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

My friend and I went to check out a Solstace a few weeks back at the dealer. Pretty nice. Fit and finish is not all that good though. With the top down, there is almost no space in the trunk. With the top up, there is reasonable space, but in order to access the rear trunk, there are a couple of rear buttresses from the convertible top that must be released and folded up out of the way (individually from opposite sides of the car). Then you can open the trunk. After you close the trunk, you have to go around and re-fasten the buttresses again on both sides. Seems very clumsy. Definitely form over function.
I'm more interested in the Sky. While I definitely like the styling of the Solstace, I think the Sky might be more interesting with it's hard edges. At this point, I would buy a used Boxster for $20-$25K over a new Solstace. Much nicer car. Demick |
