Can't wait to hear your comparisons of the Sol to the S2000. I almost bought the S2000 but then decided I could wait and get the car I really wanted.

Thank you.
I already need to wash the Solstice. It rained on the way home from the dealer. Amazing how dirty the road is.

I'll have to get back to you on that one. I need to get some miles on the Solstice before I will drive it nearly as hard as I drive the S2K.

-there is a ton more room in the seats of the Solstice.
-the (stock) windscreen on the Honda is real nice.
-there is more storage space in the S2K (trunk and CD box).
-the ride on the stock wheels of the Sol is much smoother than the low profile S2K wheels

That's a start. I know there will be more comparisons.
I'm not sure I will be able to afford to keep both cars, but I'm gonna try.

Congrats! You, like I, have some serious cars to put head to head, you should have some fun with that.

So, what do you think between them for style, is the Sol the hands down winner? Remember, you're on a solstice forum, careful

Hey! You picked yours up the same day that I did!

Both have styling points I like, but the Solstice definately turns my head more. Same with the folks that have seen me around town.

Same here, the MSM draws looks and compliments all the time, but the Sol is wowing the public with it's newness and fresh look!

T'was a good day yesterday for the both of us!

I don't have THAT problem.

Sorry really just getting frustrated here..happy for the new owners....getting ..... at GM!!!!!!
Mine was built on 10/3 and took delivery 11/30 vin 2400 so there is no rhyme or reason to the shipping, mine was held back for water leaks. Keep the faith it will come and you will be soooooo happy you waited. I keep going to the garage to see that the car is really there
