I can’t stand the color.

I would try and build this car on my own, buy a custom hardtop, spoiler, and neat paintjob.

“you have the …
“you have the audacity to call a Porsche a Volkswagen.”
Wow, you are an arrogant snob, aren’t you?? Dr Ferdinand Porshe designed the VW, so it is in fact, a Porsche, and conversely, a Porsche is nothing more than a glorified VW . Get over yourself and your automotive snobbery

A kit car, you …
A kit car, you drive a kit car and you have the audacity to call a Porsche a Volkswagen. Driving a kit car has to be like showing up at a party with an inflatable doll. Everyone there knows you will have a good time with it, but everyone knows you’re unable to get what you want. Of course you don’t brag about about it, who would? No matter what the company who bolts it together calls it,it’s a kit car.

I resurrected this …
I resurrected this because you chose to attack me personally when I made a comment about a company. For your information, I paid cash for my Boxster on the spot. All of my cars are paid for. Why would you comment on something like that when you don’t even know. Says a lot about you. And who is bragging?
June 24th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Chill are you …
Chill are you really so desperate for to draw attention to your german toy (that you probably can’t pay for), that you need to resurrect a comment from a year ago, so you can make smug hints about owning a Porsche?
Oh and I don’t own, nor have I ever owned a Solstice. What I drive is paid for, and yes, it is classier than your little glorified VW, but i don’t feel the need to brag about it over the net

So Grumpy, how does …
So Grumpy, how does it feel to see your heros at GM come begging to Congress, I believe they said with a Tin Cup wanting money. Just shows you can only get by with crap so long. At the same time Porsche bought out Volkswagon.

i love this car
… 
i just noticed that at 02:21, we can see the Camaro convertible concept in front of the Pontiac GXP. 
nice… but id go for the Pontiac due to the gasoline economy and performance.
i love this car

I have to kinda …
I have to kinda agree only because these people that have tried to own me in these GXP’s have become owned in my charger and i know i have no stand against a porsche. But i do like the look of the solstice.

I think you will …
I think you will enjoy your Solstice. I had just gotten my Boxster when I posted my reply and was just being an hole. The solstice is a fast and nice car. When you get down to it, it’s not the car but how you feel driving down a nice road with the top down listening to the sound of the engine…enjoy hope you have many miles of fun.

I dont have an anger problem, I just have a problem with idiots. Oh and P.S. the “boxster” isnt even worth the effort of spelling it correctly.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:26 pm

The GPX is fast but I drive an S,
p.s. it’s spelled Boxster.
Most of you guys on here seem to have some sort of anger problem.

What are you trying to say?

Too bad Grumpy, the …
Too bad Grumpy, the comment stands and Pontiac is no Porsche. Like comparing a double wide trailer to a nice house.

You know your brain …
You know your brain is in trouble when you make totally stupid comments such as this. Really pathetic comment for a man over 50
June 24th, 2009 at 8:26 pm

June 24th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Wow dude you left …
Wow dude you left that comment on every one of the solstice videos. Why dont you STFU and go play with your porche since you seem to like it so much. Oh wait the Solstice GXP is faster and cheaper? Well sucks for you and your boxter I guess.

You know a company is in trouble when the first word of their two page ad in Car and Driver is POESCHE. Looks like something out of a Thomas the Tank Engine show for toddlers.
