Funky Cars > MotorTrend's freshly spied: Pontiac Solstice Turbo
[(¯`•.¸¸.•â˜†~♥۩۞۩ Trinity and Tabago ۩۞۩♥~☆•.¸¸.•´¯)] (Mind you, it's not as if the 2.4-liter/177-horsepower four-cylinder Ecotec powerplant found standard in the Solstice is lacking any spirit, but adding a turbo should increase output by more than 60 additional ponies.) Dual exhausts are a step up from the single exhaust standard in the Solstice currently on sale. It all adds up to a very attractive performance package, which should help it stand proud alongside its competitors, the Mazda Miata, Honda S2000, and Toyota MR2 Spyder."

If they added a hard top convertable for $35,000 Porsche, Mercedes (the SLK disapears) and my SC430 Lexus folks will be scrambling.
