    can you post a link to a high res version? I was thinking you might be able to read the back.


    edit: actually I think Grim nailed it shut...right down to the rims

    They are cool cars and CHEAP. When I had my Mazda into the dealer this week I looked at a few. The most expensive one I looked at was a $27k sticker price, cheaper than my Mazda :eek:

    Cheap has come a long way. I recall Pontiac Fieros advertising for $7777 back 84. Solstice has a more substanstial appearance than Honda's Del Sol replacment.

    Those that are interested in Solstice might also find it's Saturn sibling interesting: Saturn Sky. It's built on the same platform but it's got clean looks as compared to the Pontiac's Batmobile flavor. I have a Batmobile bias. :)

    Generally US is now a very good place to buy things in... If you are from Europe. The exchange rate is to your advantage.. $21000 is very much like you can buy a small car in Europe, in fact $19000 could get you a Toyota Camry LE, a big car in US.. .

    yep, a vw polo 1400cc with 86hp cost´s about 20.000€ (+-23.000$!!!), in portugal, in other european countries costs about 15-16k€. In here we have really high taxes.

    For example that 3.2engine in that pontiac would pay about 15.000-18.000just in taxes.
