It seems like there's one guy saying that don't compare the '04 Xfire to the new '06 solstice for pricing that instead compare new to new. Yeah the pricing is up on the XFire but so is the QUALITY, PERFORMANCE and ENGINEERING and so on and so forth. GM quality need i say more... Yeah the Solstice is a nice attempt at GM finally making something really affordable and desirable but they should have been there maybe 15 years ago not in '06 when there's alot of competition for the solstice and alot more to choose from in other makes and the only thing that's making the solstice a nice buy is the price because in quality it falls in the traditional GM quality rating, poor and in power the engine its not powerful at all even more so once it hits 60 it takes forever to hit 110 mph and speak of space which there is ZERO. At least the XFire has a decent trunk in the convertible and a big enough trunk in the coupe for a couple of travel bags.

And since when does the Xfire not have rear speakers??? some of these people really tick me off when they say things like this about a car they supposedly tested I mean all you have to do is look behind the seats i mean what did that guy do jump in and drive it and jump out??? did he not peruse the car like anyone attempting to buy a new car does.

As for the guy saying the end was gonna break loose at 60 mph is FULL OF SH*T, pardon the expression. This car handles and glues itself to the road better than alot of cars out there and WAY BETTER than any Solstice.

And the lack of power issue that they mention is something they all gather from reading stupid magazines that hate the crossfire but if they really drove it they'd realize that the car has enough power and that it feels stronger than its claim of 215 hp and 229 torque because of its light weight and gearing especially in the top end where the crossfire just seems to be able to go into triple digit speeds very quickly.
