SENIOR EDITOR FOR NEWS BOB GRITZINGER: The New GM should make some effort to find a place for cars like this. This one is especially painful, because the car is almost stillborn, getting just one model year before its division and its chassis head for the scrap heap.
That's too bad, because despite some shortcomings (see later) this is one fun little ride. There's just enough fiberglass smell emanating from the removable roof panel, and just enough crease in the fenders, and just enough zip to the engine, and just enough responsiveness to the chassis, to make this feel every bit like a poor man's Corvette.
I think the coupe's styling runs circles around the Solstice roadster's chopped look, while its hatch-under-glass storage provides some reasonable room for cargo. The interior is nothing special, with a little too much ugly plastic covering large unbroken swaths of dashboard and center console, but the seats are good and the driving position is excellent.
