Was watching the "Live with Regis & Kelly" show this morning (I usually only watch the first few minutes of it -- what can I say? I think Kelly Ripa's cute...) when they announced they'd be showing some of the "hot new sports cars" from the 2004 New York Auto Show, and that the Solstice would be one of the cars on the show! So I sat through the program to get a look at my dreammobile. The car segment was held to the end of the show and the Solstice was the first displayed in the studio by one of the editors from "Car and Driver" magazine. They also had three new BMW's (new 6-series, the Z-3, and Z-4), BMW's Mini-Cooper convertible, and a new four seater convertible concept from either Oldsmobile or Buick. But the Solstice was the star of the show IMHO as it seemed to elicit the most favourable reaction from the audience. I really wanted to see what it looked like with people moving around it and seated in it to get some idea of the size and space involved, and was quite happy with what I could see. I especially liked the look of the high rear deck, and it's overall size and styling (it really IS a gorgeous looking car!). Philbin was asking about whether the top was powered or manual (manual only according to the C & D chap), and what kind of baggage space there'd be (not a lot). Of the six cars displayed on the show, the Solstice was by far the best looking, best priced, and most exciting of the lot...
