I wouldn't buy either one. I'd get the Saturn if I had to choose between the two.

you dont know anything well let me tell you they are both 260hp rwd convertibles(obviously) and the pontiac starts at 27g's and the sky at 29g's mind you this is the solstice gxp and sky redline if i wanted a regular solstice or sky it would be like 22g's but then i only get like 180 hp and a bunch of other stuff coast extra to add on to the regular one so for me its all or nothing

roadsters are awesome.

I rarely let passengers in the rear seats and mostly stuff just clutters up back there. I got my roadster for practicality's sake

This pic is the only kit that makes the solstice look like it isn't a solstice and is the only one that doesn't look ugly, I don't know why the others kept the ugly front end...

dont get me wrong i love hondas ive had 2 cars and both have been hondas but it seems like a bad choice this time higher price for less speed come on somehtings wrong there solstice and sky both around 27-30 g's and has 260hp where the s2000 starts out at like 34 or 35g's and only has 234-240hp does the honda really seem like the better choice?

the current issue of C&D magazine tested an auto trans Sky Redline..... I think 0-60 was still under 5.5 seconds. I think the engine in the turbo models is a 2 liter ecotec?

Yea but the important part is can they get rid of the ugly bulbous front end for you? That really is the only problem with the pontiac, although I've never been know to turn down a ls1.
