2006 Pontiac Solstice Coupe nice!!!

Guys, i am just watching the apprentice right now and theyre sponsoring the new car from pontiac. guys this car is HOT! yea, i know its a GM, not a japanese car, like what everyone thinks about the neon, but this car is hella tight.. its only less than 20 gran too... if i didnt have the evo, this would definitely be an option.. only thing is that its not really that fast... 177HP, but faster than a miata and cheaper...

check this out for pics:

im kinda suprised that GM would talk about selling this and the sky at the same time. I would thing that would cut their sales. or so I would think.

yeah not that exciting. i watched the aprentice last night as well. it is a pretty sexy looking car, but with 170bhp, its not really a roadster, and i am positive it isnt as fun to drive as a miata. (i think at least)

Just wait until the put a supercharger on that engine. I never thought I would actually consider buying a Pontiac, but I would this one.

The Sky and the Solstice are the exact same car under the skin, but from what I've read Saturn intends on taking the car a bit more upmarket - including a "Redline" (with a supercharged 250hp 2.4L) model about a year after initial introduction.
