Anyone remember the Apprentice episode where they designed the Pontiac Solstice ad? Well, we got one of the first 1000 produced, limited edition Solstices....its a pretty fun little car. 177 HP, rear wheel drive, light as hell...Here's some pics.

Cool, those cars are starting to grow on me. I saw one up close this past weekend at the EMCO gears classic. They do look like they'd be pretty fun to drive. Are they fast, though? I know they have 177 HP, but I dunno 0-60 or 1/4 mile times.

I'd rather buy an '04 S2k for that price

#1: Comparing used cars to brand new cars just doesn't work.

 

#2: MSRP for base Solstice = $19,995. MSRP for base S2K = $33,150. That's a huge chunk of change in price difference.

 

#3: For shits and giggles, I looked up S2K's on autotrader. Searched any year, under 30,000 miles, within 100 miles of here.

 

The cheapest 04 I found was $25,900. Heck, about the only ones in the 20k range were 00-02 models.

 

These cars compete in two completely different price classes. The Miata and MR2 are the comparble cars.

 

I'm waiting to see the Saturn version of it in person; looks a lot better than the Solstice from the pics I've seen.
