This is one good looking roadster!

Nice pics, thanx for posting them! The last one really gives you an idea of the Solstice's size, the rear end, rear axle, and quarter panel are all quite compact. This should be an easy car to park!

( btw psych, don't get upset, i wouldnt want you to start a thread about those of us who are trying to destroy the solstice idea.) She also said the vehicle was going to be released Late Fall 2005 as a 2006 model

no worries pachanga, I kind of knew the trunk would be smallish, i am a realist.

But i agree the timing for the release is kind of counter-intuitive. I'm no expert but I think roadsters would sell much better in the spring and summer.

they will just send the first few months of production to florida and california.

Geeee floriduh and kah-lee-fornia (insert Arnold voice here)

The "two stooges" of recent elections . . . . and they get the Solstice first.

Hmmmmmm, coincidence?

its the weather there, nothing more. let's stay on topic here.

I know just kidding, but GM has pulled this trick before with the GTO in particular, it is supposed to be available in warm states only. It's not offered at all up here (but for different reasons).

Thankfully the Solstice is designed for ALL of North America.
