I just picked up an '04 Xfire this past weekend. I was looking at buying a Solstice, but the dealership was selling for 10k over ticket price. So walking around the lots I came across an Alabaster '04, six speed in great condition.

Funny thing is, I haven't driven stick in 12 years, and that was in England... so to try it out, my wife drove both cars and told me not to bother with the Solstice as it's totally inferior. After a week of getting used to the stick being on my right side, I'm loving it. Absolutely the best car I have ever ridden in.
