The first post 1959 Pontiac I kinda like. A lot.

I wonder who it drives...

pete

dude. that looks like wild ride. my bro has a mallet performance corvette

That is one sweet ride.

Oh and before I get flamed, I suppose I should add in the 1960s and 70s...

And there was always KITT...

I still think they are too big of a car for me, but I really like the new vettes.

....I like it...anyone want to buy a 911 and loan me some money???

just make sure its insured before you drive it

How much to the regular cars go for? Cus thats a screaming deal on a new performance car.....

Move over corvette....

Or is that 18k+ baseline car...


Still cheap....

i'd like to see some performance numbers and would like to know how well balanced it is with that big 'ol engine....it sure is darn nice.....I'd rather have this car than a 'vette, even if the 'vette is faster or handles better than this one...

That's $18K plus the cost of the car.

the OG car has 50/50 balance. I guess this might make it a tad nose heavy

just more drooling

This is nice.

I'm interested to see the Saturn Sky when it comes out. Rumour has it it's a front engined version of the elise chassis - ought to be quite special.

Do the Sky, Caddy XLR, and the Solstice share anything under the covers - chassis or something? I'm suspicious.

Solstace and Sky are the same platform.

There was a thought that they were going to import the Vuxhaul (sp?) to the US as a Saturn, but they decided on a new platform (Pontiac Solstice) to use instead. I think this was due to the new regulations on pedestrian-crash front-ends in europe.

Yeah - guess you're right (bummer). The solstice weighs in at 2860lbs curb. I'd take the boxster over that I think; although the boxster is much more expensive.
