    That's weird.... I remember designing both of them at GM in Warren Michigan. Maybe you're thinking of the Pontiac G8. And the reason the VX is 'cute' is because the wheelbase is so short. That proportion will always come off as cute... see the MINI, and the SmartCar and my avatar above.

    Good job! I really like the Solstice Coupe, there’s just something special about that car.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.
