I wish everyone knew that. Also, fun colors demand correct spelling ;P
“u” is just being so extra.

At a government building I had seen one of these in GPX trim with a for sale sign in windshield but the numbers were under the black part D’oh.
This is the one I think.

They sell for close to corvette prices from what I’ve seen with less than Miata performance.

Yes, but giving U the boot adds lightness.

Very nice indeed. Having once owned a yellow MINI, I’d say that’s my favorite color those Pontiacs came in.

I was thinking that’s a VERY reasonable price for a GXP , but its auto.

Not to be a naysayer , but I’m bummed out by the Solstice/Sky. It has nothing to do with looks, as they both look totally fine, very good even .
But the driving experience left me, well, disappointed . Imprecise handling, an abysmal transmission (the one I drove was auto) non-existent storage (even compared to other cars in the segment) , an annoying series of steps to put the top up or down, an interior that felt cheap even by 2000's-era GM standards, and an awkward and uncomfortable seating position for me. Granted, I never drove the GXP/Red Line trim, just a base model with the 2.4 Ecotec and 5A T.
It should be stated, however, that my memory is most likely a little clouded because, at the time, I was driving a Honda S2000.
