I can see how you might have that opinion of the roadster, but how is the coupe (which is what we're talking about here) a chick's car?

 

right, that car is just plain sexy, it attracts the chicks
its sexy yet menacing

 

in saying the soltstice is a chicks car, i guess some people would rather have a car that attracts men?

 

Um, being one of the few people that have sat in the Solstice Targa...I hope you arent clostrophobic, cause you will be clawing your way out of that thing.
Functionality deffinatly took a back seat to design. While its a downright sexy looking car, sure as hell isnt daily driver material.

 

Personally, I'd rather have a car that men fear.

 

Guess I am the only one who doesn't care for the looks of the Solstice, but I think the Sky looks badass and would love to see a coupe version of it.

 

+1

Actually, I'd like to see the Sky with a design similar to the 1st Gen Viper roadster with a roll-over bar, flying buttresses, roll up-down back window, and the same removable targa as the Solstice, but keeping the little bit of trunk space that the Sky currently has.

 

The sky is much better I agree!

 

might work for gay dudes.

 

How big are you?

I'm 5'8" and 145 lbs, and I doubt I'd have any trouble. I sat in a Sky and had lots of room to get comfortable.

 

I'm 5'10" and 205lbs. I fit okay in the car, but there really wasn't much extra room in my Solstice. I have to admit that there were times when I felt a bit enclosed and I never thought I was claustrophobic.

 

hahahaha, the original post was about comparing the solstice GXP's rumored 300+ hp four banger to the V6 Camaro engine. I have no idea how this turned into a sexuality discussing thread. lol if you think this, the gay dude driving the 09 Solstice GXP coupe might just be looking at you in a v6 5th gen through his rear view mirror in 09. but i agree looks department Camaro has it.

 

You are much smaller then I am. Im 6'1 250lbs. Getting into and out of the car is a bit tougher then getting into the vert. The roof comes down more then the soft top does, so there is a bit more neck bending.
Once inside, its standard Solstice. The quarter "windows" have just that much outwards visibility...about the size of a quarter.
Outwards from the back is also harder then the convertable due to the angle of the rear glass.

 

My impressions from the Solstice roadster were that anyone bigger than me wouldn't really have enough room, top up or down. Then again, I have a buddy who is 6'4" (really skinny though) who daily-drives and autocrosses a Solstice GXP, and he says he has plenty of room.

 

These are two cars I'm seriously considering for my next vehicle. I've always liked the Solstice, and now in coupe form, it looks even better and the GXP is gonna be a screamer. The bad thing is the cockpit is a tad cramped and doesnt look like much room for any type of luggage for even small road trips.

However the V6 Camaro is gonna be no slouch either, and looks alot meaner than the Solstice. Plus alot more utility, the ability to take multiple people with you, and it will probably command a good bit lower price.

Can't wait to test drive em both to really check them out but so far the Camaro's looks and probable lower price have it looking like a better buy (for me anyway)
