Solstice GXP...

Where is this little dude? I saw pics of em sitting at the factory holding lots, and then... Nothing. They out yet? I may be in the new car market in the next six months, and it would fit my needs rather well. Anyone?

They've been out for quite a while. You probably haven't seen one because they don't last long at all on dealer lots.

I saw one on the streets yesterday. My friend said he checked one out at the local Pontiac dealership but they didn't even give him the time of day. I guess it is alright, since he has a Sky RL on order.

A have seen a few GXP Solstices and Redline Sky's on the streets here . Your not seeing them at the dealer because ALOT of the first ones were sold before they even got to the dealer . The Saturn dealer I used to work for delivered 3 pre-sales and last week he finally got one in he could put on the lot , I would think the same scenario would carry over to the Solstice.

I saw one in NY a few days ago when I was there. My brother-in-law was shopping at a Cadillac dealer for a CTS and they had a black GXP in the prepping area. Nice car. Too bad it was all covered in bird crap. I just wish they were not soft top but hard top convertibles.

The Solstice GXP would fit my needs too, if I could fit into one.

Heh, true. I'm 5'8" and 140lbs, and I've sat in one. Anyone bigger than me would be pretty uncomfortable!

Damn your skinnier than me, 5'8'' and 160 lbs. Maybe I should go try one on for size to see how well I fit.

My fiance just got a Solstice GXP

im 6'3" 170 and i sit comfortably in it, there is still some inches above my head, and my knees are like 6 inches from the dash

It is very comfortable, i always take rides with her on the weekends and for a few hour drive it is still comfortable

My local pontiac dealer has a few GXP's in that I looked at 2 weeks ago. I lost interest after I saw the $3000 market adjustment though. Also has a few 06 GTO's still left.

i forgot to mention that i sit pretty upright, not slouched or leaning back, i don't know why i drive like that, but i feel more connected to the car like this. id love to have one right now, but buying a house and putting money away for the new camaro is the priority. like i said, if a few years down the road i can pick one up for a good deal then its game on lol.
