I think the rear 3/4 view looks ok, but I don’t like the front. Either way, thumbs up for them moving in a good direction at least. ---

They said today taht these cars should be showing up at dealerships around jan 09. The only bad part about the targa top is that you can’t store it IN the car. They will be selling a collapsible top that clip in place when you really need it. > [@BigRon](#): > > Solstice Coupe goes on sale next year, the blown-Ecotec could make 300 horsepower or more. > > [http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/solstice-coupe-to-pack-300-horses/](http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/solstice-coupe-to-pack-300-horses/) They will be selling a tune or whatever upgrades to make 290hp with 310tq [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/deleware-is-boring/48131.md?page=2)
