Great pics!!! I'm glad GM didn't "redesign" the car but instead just added subtle detail changes. It looks great!

Thank goodness they didn't slap on 50 extra pounds of "ground effect" body cladding! IMHO that era wasn't a high point of car design. I prefer the subtle, understated look. But a boost gauge on the A pillar would have been a nice little touch.

Anyone interested in some LA Auto Show pics of the GXP?

I really like the front fascia. Unfortunately its a bit busy and heavy looking with all the honeycomb. But it does have the side benefit of leading your eye away from the kidney grills and provides better balance to the look of the front.

Are there any special functions for the added honeycombs? Vents to brakes?

The extra vents are pretty much to add more air for cooling the intercooler and intercooler piping. They are functional.

Wonder how hard it will be to get the leather seats without the red stitching, more like whats in the original Solstice. Hope it is possible...

Love just about everything about it but that little prehensile tail of a spoiler on the back. It's almost emasculating.

Buy it with the seats as shipped and certainly someone here will swap you even for a set pf plain leathers.

At least our tail is bigger than the tail on a S2k. And it is a tossup, the '97-03 Grand Prix's without spoilers have a look from the back that says "Come here!" and with the spoiler says, "This is the part of my car you will remember most!"

Is it me or does it look more boxy? Especially in the front? Did I notice the window switch moved further forward? I am still waiting on my car so I am forced to use my imagination.......and it is running wild!!

I don't see one from this end either. Maybe that is why Pontiac wouldn't open the hood to the Red GXP when it was in Detroit.
