Solstice vs Miata MX5...review by Automobile mag.

Pretty good review and they actually chose the Solstice over the Miata despite the Miata having better performance numbers.

Wonder what the chance are of picking one of these up at sticker are? Considering almost half of the 2006 production has been presold.

Perhaps wait for the turbo version to arrive... maybe the sticker shock would settle by then...

MMMM.... RWD turbo GM......

Watch out imports. Uncle Ben is coming for that free white rice nobody ever eats!

I wonder if the aluminum suspention parts from the CTS are swapable. Doesnt the Sol' have the same suspention out back as the CTS. Im sure the aftermarket will have some serious weight reduction out soon for this car.

The Solstice is definitely a nice car and I think the editors are happy to see a fresh face in the lineup.
