Pontiac Solstice Coupe Debuts in NYC

Just not sure if I like this thing yet. I think that Pontiac nailed the styling on the new Solstice Coupe. It has a beautifully sculpted bonnet and rear end, and is powered by either a 2.4L 173hp 4-cylinder for the base model or a 2.0L 260hp Turbo for the GXP. To me, however, it looks remarkable similar to the BMW M Coupe?maybe a little too similar. The other thing is that if you're over 5'9" don't even think about getting into this thing. I needed a shoe horn to wedge my 240lb, 6'4" frame into the Solstice, and a big ole' pry bar to get me back out. This is NOT a car for those with any type of height or mass to them?it just won't work. The interior is nicely appointed with the same look and feel of the Solstice roadster which means it's sporty but not overly complicated. The engine is pretty accessible as well with its reverse-opening hood.

I suppose in the end I like this car because, let's face it, it has all the elements of great sports car. Awesome styling, good power, and that feeling that makes you want to put your right foot to the floor maybe a little more than you should.
