actually the solstice/sky wasn't designed by GM it was designed by a shop in Austrailia (who AFAIK also designed the new GTO chassis, but not the style).
I actually considered buying a sky at one point. I sat in one at a tradeshow before they came out and loved it. when they did finally come out the dealerships neglected to order any with a stick shift... and they wanted upward of $30K for it... so that killed it for me...no way I'm paying that much for anything less than exactly what I want in the car.
brought my VX to work yesterday for the first time... and I got my first "cute" from a female co-worker
I also got a lot of comments on my license plate... WARTHOG
