I must say, this car and the Saturn Sky are really starting to grow on me. Especially after driving a turbo Solstice in Toronto over the summer, I was fairly impressed. These cars will be in the back of my mind when looking to start a new project when I’m done with school. If they make a Sky coupe… sex. > For this year, GM’s line of performance parts will be shown on the Solstice in coupe form for the first time when the Solstice GXP Coupe Concept is officially unveiled next week in Las Vegas. This customized Solstice shows off GM Performance Parts’ Stage 2 performance kit , intake kit, and cat-back exhaust system that boosts horsepower from 260 to 290. The car also features a sportier suspension system, exterior graphics kit, customized leather-trimmed seats, race-style pedal covers, and an iPod interface.

Well, these cars in turbo and N/A form can just kill it at autocross. So if you like the way they look and have any inkling to do some easy competitive racing, this car would certainly fit the bill ---
