Weak! I was hooked on that car about 2 years ago, when that and the Dodge Razor popped up. The solstice was a 240hp supercharged 4-cyl for under $20k. The Razor was a 240hp turbo'd 4-cyl for the same price.
Removing the power gives you another miata. Maybe just a bit bigger .

Hmm interesting, I haven't heard anything about it yet, but it looks like an RX-8 and an MR2 had sex or something I dunno and only 170HP thats not too cool. Oh well.

The website says 170hp, but that may be a base model. . . most of what I read says supercharger with 240hp. I think it'd be a great replacement for my 240 sometime down the road, but that 2900lb curb wieght scares me a bit. . . I'd imagine it'd have more stability at high speed than a miata. I'm not saying I'm going to go out and buy one, just that I'll sure as heck test drive it when the time comes :P

That's pretty nice looking.

Looks like a Z3 and a miata had a little TOO much fun....

I hate pontiacs,....after driving one around for how many months,I have had a major hatred toward the entire brand.
