I only used the TA as a comparison because it was GM's offering in that price range. I am not saying that TA=Corvette, but they both are GM. I have never owned a Corvette, they are too expensive for me right now. I just think that you are the only people that would ever think that anything GM could be more reliable than a Honda, and it is because you own them. I have owned both. None of us has millions to do huge studies over what is actually true, so I think the whole thing is pointless. The original post was to compare the Solstice to the S2000, and I don't think they will compare because while the Solstice may be faster, the Honda will be better built. It is all speculation on everyone's part, the Solstice isn't even out yet. So why does everyone get so upset? I have been an F-body owner since I got my license in 1991 and I still own one. I know where you guys are coming from, but my opinion is just that Honda makes better cars.

Remember that the F-Body is on a platform that dates back to a 1982 debut!!! It was GM oldest platform still being used for 02 if I am correct.

The C5 was an ALL NEW platform in 1997, and a damn good one at that. Groundbreaking, frankly.

The logic that All Hondas Quality > All GM Quality is mindnumbing.

I am not slapping Honda quality at all, but don't judge C5 until you drive or at least ride in one, let alone own one.
