For Those Who Love Coupes
I'm sure some of you are subscribers to car and driver but just thought I would point out some of the new coupes coming out soon! There are a few interesting new additions. I love the look of almost any coupe (not a convertible guy myself) hence the reason I fell in love with the crossfire! Enjoy and feel free to comment on the designs.
2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe (Targa top) 173 hp or 260 hp
2010 Cadillac CTS Coupe 550 hp V-series, 304 hp
2010 Honda CR-Z Hybrid 20 hp electric motor w/ 93 hp engine combo from Civic hybrid (for the fuel sippers)
2010 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black Series V-12 with rumored 700 hp
2009 Audi TTS in-line turbo four cylinder 200 hp, or V6 250 hp (very nice)
2010 Pontiac G8 Sport rumored 361 hp 6.0l V8 (the return of the El Camino?)
2008 Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 641hp, 0-60 3.6sec (price tag: only $1,064,00!)
2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 223hp 2.0L turbo four, or 310hp 3.8L V6
2009 Maserati GranTurismo S 434hp (pretty, look at those huge C pillars though)

Re: For Those Who Love Coupes
The Solstice Coupe looks great, the base engine.....XFIRE will kill it, the turboed one......good luck grabbing it for less than $30K. At $19-23K.....XFIRE Limited 6 speed rules! (especially with Lifetime Powertrain Warranty).
The Caddy's gonna suck gas.

What I also hate about Cadi's is how often they "reinvent" their styling and make everything previous to that look dated. That's another reason why their cars depreciate so fast.

Re: For Those Who Love Coupes
Personally, I hate it when they incorporate the radio so heavily into the dash. It makes it next to impossible to put a different head unit in.
