Solstice is a great looking vehicle, but they need to bump it up and they could wind up with niche car to rival the SRT-4 and get even better looks. There are non turbocharged Neons at my track that beat these things.

I never cared for the vehicle's styling and thought it was severely overpriced, but I do applaud GM for bringing something that looked as unique as the SSR to the market. Could the money spent on its development have gone elsewhere? You bet. A new Camaro or improvements to other GM vehicles would have been more welcome but in an age where risks are calculated down to the last cent, GM tried something very different.
