The Solstice [re-visited]

Share this page

I like the looks of the Solstice (there, I said it and I'm not taking it back /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif). The black one pictured above really looks sharpe. But I don't like how there is no usable storage space when the top is down.

I don't like the looks of the new MX-5 at all; they've removed all the nice curves and replaced them with sharpe, straight lines; looks more like a shoebox.
 
Ok ok I get it some of you guys don’t like the Solstice. That’s fine never said anybody had to. But even with the MX-5’s makeover I still say it’s too well? Let’s just say it still needs an oophoretomy and some serious male hormone therapy for my tastes.

Sorry if this offends any Miata fans, but while the MX-5 is certainly still “cute”, IMHO in a side by side even with the ugly nose treatment (grill work) I think the Solstice is the (umm? struggling for a word) the more “handsome” of the two.

[:Scene cuts to Bret on the run dawning his steel pot, grabbing flak vest & rifle and dives into his foxhole – just as bombs, bullets & missiles go off all around him:]

Bret turns to the platoon leader & says: “Gesus Gunny! I have met the enemy & boy is he Pi$$ed!” /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
 
hehe, I ain't THAT adamant, Bret! Do think it LOOKS aggressive enuff (th' Ponyak) and as for Miatas/Mazzzdas, well... I'd be censured for THAT opinion. Baz has been kind to me so-far /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[/ QUOTE ] If you don't like the looks of the Solstice, just wait for the Saturn version without the Pontiac divided grill. Apparently the Skye will cost a bit more, though.
