Yesterday I went to the Covert dealership in Bastrop Texas and met with the salesman who sold me my Vibe.
Together, we went through the modest options list and pieced together my Solstice order.
If it's filled as expected in early June, I should have a Shadow Solstice with leather interior (black is the only current leather option), all options packages, etc. The final price with options and delivery should be around $24,000.
They did not require a $2,000 deposit or any sort of signed committment. Basically, I think they are curious to get the order feedback of a 20-something single professional while waiting to see if GM can deliver the Solstice as promised.
One question: I've heard that the ecotech engine is appropriated from the cavalier(or cobalt?), and it's described as bulletproof and capable of fitting a supercharger -- can anyone confirm this? I was relaxed with my Vibe purchase knowing it was a Toyota underneath. The Solstice has me more excited but a bit less confident.
