What I drove Saturday (1 of <1000 being made)!!!

tomcat_cool17 · 05-25-2009, 01:11 AM

2010 Pontiac Solstice Coupe (Brazen)

Just came in Friday to the local Pontiac dealership. The rigidity is incredible, and the view over those swooping body lines is a blast. No wind whip whatsoever with the top off, quiet enough to have a conversation at less than normal voice level. And now a weekends luggage could be stowed in the back. While driving, you really don't care about the interior, lol. They are getting a black GXP model next week.

I would love to have this to drive every day!! Not sure how many are out there right now; this is the first one I have come across in public. I got so many stares and looks while driving downtown in this.

That is a beautiful car. Sadly I have only seen one...at an auto show.

Now imagine if this came out one year after it was first launched...

GM is like the slow kid in class. This should have came out sooner.

Are the rear blindspots better, worse or same as the convertible? I really hated those humps on the back.

The view straight out isn't bad (no humps) but it is limited. If you look over your shoulder, the blind spot is pretty bad. However, if you set your mirrors PROPERLY, you can make the blindspots practically nill. Never had an issue during the test drive.

So cool. It's unfortunate they are being cut short.
