i have a feeling it's based on the Toyota MR2 spyder, since toyota and pontiac did a collabo on the Vibe and Matrix...

they're even thinking of making it under $30,000 apparently... but not exactly as shown...

Actually, I believe the car is based on the Opal Speedster. I also WOULD NEVER BUY A PONTIAC...they're so cheap and ugly. They're cars for people who have always driven Camaros, and think it's time to go 'upscale' Even my moms' Bonneville. Big and quick...but it looks like the interior was put together by Play Skool, with parts from Tupperware and Lego.....

hey... not that i'm defending  the car or anything... but i stored my LEGO in my TUPPERWARE... don't put a negative vibe on lego... i would have never become the man i am today without lego in my life...

i mady my first girlfriend, my group of friends... oh damn... thinking out loud again... bad, bad habit...  http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif  http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif

There is also a similar coupe either pontiac or dodge and they all look awesome. Ten again so did the sufire concept lowrider.
By the time it makes it to production it will be uglier than an Aztek

put it this way, never will i drive a american made car!!

and what the hell is &quot;solstice&quot;?...
how do you pronounce it and what the **** is it??

[CarDemon]

Very interesting!
I would still be down with the Honda SC2000, I think that's what it is called; mainly for legendary NIPPON engineering, quality, and durability.

I knew those bastards would have to counter soon against the JAP'S.

Solstice - &quot;Sole-Stis&quot;
Point along the sun's path reached on June 21 and December 22.
I believe that those dates are the Longest and shortest days of the year.
Hmmm. I'm just a little impressed that it doesn't look like total crap, still don't like it that much though. Note the lack of side body cladding.
