Not a fan of the Solstice at all. What r the HP on those things...I know that when they first came out it was like 170hp...maybe higher, but I know it didn't break 200hp...I definitely wasn't impressed. I am not a GM fan at all, but the one Pontiac I like is the new GTO...those are clean and they sound nice....not that I'd ever get one
I like patterns...but I don't think he integrated them well at all on the solstice....I mean, did the designs or patterns even have a theme? Do they relate to the meaning of "solstice"...what was he trying to communicate? Did I miss something here? Guess, I am trying to find a way to justify those patterns...I like 'em, but not necessarily on a car....
