Solstice Owns the Miata

[BlueHUMMERH2]

I prefer the Saturn Sky. I don't really like the Solstice. But I thought it was cool it was beating out the Miata.

I agree with the chick car comments. And what's the deal with that poor fitting rag top?

If aligned correctly, it fits good. But, it is a pain in the rear to align, but not as bad as that hardtop convertible used on the G6s.

The sky beat out the miata also, according to my friend who's sky redline just arrived. He said you don't feel any turbo lag, it's a quick car, and we're currently working on aftermarket product development for both cars.

Oh...I don't care for the solstice design either...but this changed my mind:






































So, we picked up their line.

Cool! I'm hoping a SKY hardtop comes along in addition to the roadster. Then it would be a nice racing car. Apparently you can't take soft tops to those track events (I don't know what they're called), and I can't even see where to mount a roll-cage on the SKY or Solstice.

I like the Sky, a friend of mine got one around August and I was very surprised. Didn't ride in it, but it was pretty. Something I didn't expect when I heard Saturn.

A company has manufacturered these, but I would rather just have the regular hard top. Miatas run all day without hardtops as long as they have a roll cage that's sanctioned.


For those of you that can read dyno's, the redline has some impressive figures. Not to mention, they're sold for the entire year.

That hardtop conceptual rendering looks a lot like the old BMW M-Z3 AKA "The Gremlin". I kinda like it.

I drove a SKY a few months ago and it was very fun. Not much in the way of turbo lag on the base model either, and the handling was pretty solid. Feels way bigger than it is too, with the long hood. Sort of like driving the Z4. I think the only things missing are a kicking sound system (the base system is HORRIBLE), more storage room, and some side-impact airbags.

I really like Sky redline. I was tempted to buy one (non-red line)this fall but my Triumph TR8 is so damn much fun with the 3.5 litre V8. They are fun to drive and quality seems pretty decent. Maita's are just GHAY.

Hmmmm. I might have to go for a test drive now.
