Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky

I really like the look of these new roadsters. Power seems a bit anemic but pretty good overall. Any thoughts?

This thread is useless without pics.

And...I'm to lazy to search for pics on the Saturn Sky.

I think the Pontiac Solstice looks cool...but my dad says "it's another damn 'speedster' for those stupid @$$ kids to be racing around town and causing accidents in."

i see it as the miata's only real competitor.

similar price range. similar numbers from the engine (haven't researched times....)

These 2 cars actually look pretty cool. I'd like to see how they fare whenever they are released.

Isn't that the only factor you place in buying a car anyways?

Found some pics of the Soltice...

I think the Saturn is the winner here, but it's too close to call.

HEY PERSIAN'S BACK!

Glad to see you really didn't leave us for good

But yes, most people buy cars for looks...that's why the Aztek is so popular...

wait...
