    Well just spent the day at the Autoshow in Motion event (THANKS GM!!) and they had the Solstice and Sky on display and the Sky is the clear winner to me. Although I must say that the Solstice does look better in person but so does the Sky! They were having a press release for the Solstice and they were driving around out there but only for the press. The interior on the looks good. Fun event and that it's for any and everyone is pretty cool. Even if you don't like GM go anyway! It must have cost a lot and you can burn up more of their money!! :)
    On a different note, the Pontiac GTO is a LOT better car than I thought it would be!!! Very reasonable price for that kinda power and fun. I drove the car as hard as I could on such a purposely small course. And I really enjoyed it. I also got to drive the Corvette and CTSV a few times and both were very impressive. I still don't like the interior on the Cady but on the Corvette it's actually not that bad. Kinda cheap but not too shabby. I like the shifter in the CTSV better than the Vette or GTO. All together the new Corvette is a very fast and impressive car. It's just ferocious amounts of power. Compared to the best sports car I've driven (the 996 911T) it's as fun up to 7/10ths but the Porsche is a better car for hard driving and just all around. But the Corvette is just FUN for the money.

    Definitely a blast. I was there Thursday morning at 8. Stayed until 9:30. Got to do a few laps in both the CTS-V and the C6. 'Twas fun, 'twas fun. :D I have to agree with Jim Muise, the Cobalt SS was a nice surprise; well, for a front-wheel-drive 4-cylinder, I mean. :)

    Agreed. I was surprised too with the little SS. But man, wait till all the kiddies have to start replacing their 18" P Zero tires!!! "Hey dad I need $800 for a new set of tires on this little Chevy you bought me."

    HAHA....yea. I went last year. Was only able to drive the CTS-V. Enjoyed this year a lot more. Better to go when there's no one there. I also drove an SSR and a Silverado SS. The SSR sounds decent.
