Good pricing. The Vette team should be incharge of all GM engineering and the Solstice guys in charge of pricing.

No doubt!

Here is an interesting article on how vehicles now sold in Canada are typically 17% costlier than in the US.

Since the Sky comes standard pretty much loaded while you can buy a strippy Solstice I would expect the Sky Redline to have a base price around $29,000.

Re: $25,995 Will Get You A Solstice GXP!

So it's around a $5500 premium over the basic Solstice, but other than the obvious upgrades - are there any features on the GXP that come standard - but are optional on the base model? I'm just trying to see if 26 grand will get you one that's well equipped or if a loaded GXP is still going to run over 30k well equipped?

What are the performance specifications? With the aftermarket able to increase the boost for minimal cost...that thing should be a high 12 second car for 26k. It's like an affordable sports car (making fun of the Camaro's affordable, bang for buck image)

That IS very impressive, after owning the Miata and liking the smallness of it, I am really liking the sound of this.

Threxx, the Solstice GXP will have many standard features that the base model does not, such as power windows, door locks, etc. I don't know that for certain, but will do my best to find out tomorrow.

I don't know about any of you, but this and the 5th Gen are always being cross shopped in my head. We'll see in a few years who wins the battle. Black with black hardtop and black wheels with a dark tint would be my choice. But only if I have a garage.
