C&D reviewed the GXP in their October issue, and overall, they were overwhelmingly positive. Of the article's fifty sentences, just five contained criticism, and even so, it was very faint, on the usual Solstice quirks (trunk space, steering, top operation). They pointed out how GM's first direct-injection engine manages a whopping 60 more horses than VW's 2.0T FSI, and also how the GXP offers better fuel economy AND less interior noise than the regular Solstice. In fact, they felt so highly of it that they even compared it to a far more expensive Porsche's Boxster, and they ended the article saying, "It's an exceptional deal."

They said a lot fo good but still had to throw in how much better the Boxster was. Then they tried to justify ther price differance by saying you can get a 4,000 mile used Boxster for $35K??? This being in new Solstice range????

I would like to know is the Boxster resale really that bad? Or where do they buy their cars as I can't find one for that price and low milage in Ohio!
