This doesn't quite fit, since I didn't have to order - and the slow economy helped, of course. First took a look at it in late March, but it was in the showroom along with another Black Solstice. Had to wait a couple of weeks to drive it - and it was much better than I had expected. I got hooked.
Was (and am) still nervous about the Consumer Report ratings, etc., so it took a bit to decide between the '07 350Z (roadster, white, automatic, if you're interested) leftover that our dealer was cutting almost $10K off of, a Miata, or the Solstice. With the cut in price of the Z, they were all within a similar price range.
Last weekend, finally drove the Z and the Solstice again, and while the Z probably holds its value better and has a power roof, and a bit of a trunk, it simply wasn't as much fun to drive!
So here we are - new roadster, and LOUSY weather! Oh well....
But loving it, anyway!
