Remeber my promise about me being able to sit in the Solstice? Well... it came true. I have been instructed to not say anything until the autoshow has ended. So expect to hear some real interesting information late sunday night or early monday morning. Stay tuned!!!!
*FIRST EVER SOLSTICE FORUM MEMBER TO SIT IN IT!!!*
the new STS did not have much information out before it went on sale also.
The strange thing is the lack of information on the truck and top.
The show is over 8 hours, first report at 6:01 tonite or you're histroy lol

Congrats on getting a seat in it. However, I am not sure you are the first. I do believe someone has not only sat in it, but gone for a nice little cruise in it! Unfortunately, not me.
Location: Wilds of Canada, or the Pac NW, or the Upper Penninsula of MI...
Congrats!!!
Simple, all you need to do is post a if the experience was bad, and a if it was decent, or a if everything was naturally placed and fit you well (tell us your height and inseam, and if you don't mind, your weight... I'm not kidding) and the experience exceeded your expectations. You're only posting your initial impression, not any details or such.
You can tell us your size and stuff without getting into trouble.
I wasn't one of lucky ones to see the car at Milwaukee or Chicago auto show. Have heard that bigger in real life vs. pics. From the engineering shots it looks like the sitting position is deep with a high driveshft tunnel. How did it feel? The biggest concern with most roadsters is the lack of seat adjustability, back of seat rake angle in particular.

I think he is the first civilian (non car maker affiliated employee), correct?

Other people have hinted at beign in one, but he'll be the first who can post about it without getting in trouble. It's Sunday afternoon, I need me some info soon!!!
can you compare the inside to a MSMiata from experience?
I think youve been asked to describe your physique, weight height etc, if you would that would be great.
I have to watch what I say...
It is bigger and more roomier then a MSMiata, a bit more torso room, same room in terms of leg room, but the Solstice has less leg width room down by your feet. I am 6'2 and I weigh 155lbs. My inseem is 36. I fit perfect. snug, but comfy. Everything wrapped around me nicely. I was only in there for a minute or so, just to see if i fit, so I could decide if i wil lbe ordering it or not. I doubt anybody over 6'3 will fit. I was not sure for 2 years If i could see out the windshield because I thought it was too low. It definately is not, and I could see fine. The seat is soo amazing, it contours around your body and everything falls in place around you. the seat positioned low like a Vette, and has great spacing from you to your passenger. It feels like you are strapped inside of it! I have 2 pictures of myself, but for security reasons I cannot post them. Just take my word for it, 6'2 drivers can fit, 6'3 and up are starting to push the envelope. anybody else have any questions? dont ask about the trunk or the top or anything else... i quickly sat in in and got out. I was "one of the selected few" to sit in it, so i didnt want to do more then just sit in it. I was lucky enough to take a seat.
