....wait until the version with the supercharged Ecotec (already used in the Cobalt SS) comes along... the magazines have hinted it's on its way, and could be quite a contender.

I called on the Solstice, and anyone who wants one is required to put down a $1000 cash deposit to get on the list. Deliveries start in October, according to the dealer, and cars can be had for MSRP or less (no speculation, probably due to the anticipated volumes).
