Solstice Coupe/Targa spotted in the real world

GM Reports 260,922 Deliveries in April
The automotive industry is very susceptible to economic downturns. Most of the time, people don't buy a new car because the old one is so broken they absolutely must have a new one. When times get tough, people tend to hang on to durable goods like cars because they can make them last a little longer than they were planning. It is for this reason that investing in a durable goods company like GM is risky, but the higher than market returns when times are good make people jump in. Of course, when the market goes down, GM fares even worse.

Yawwwwwwwn. Total lack of innovation and creativity in its design.- GM @ NYIAS: Solstice Coupe
Yes, much like the smart roadster targa. I think the lines on this car are beautiful, but I hope that the driving dynamics, interior functionality (usable cupholders, better plastics), and fuel economy are improved.- Shift starts to smaller cars
