I saw a car parked up outside a local pub last Thursday and I have NO idea what it was.

It was a small 2 seater convertible, in silver. The roof was black cloth. I think it was a 57 plate and the badge on the front was a long thin triangle pointing downwards. It had 2 ridges on the rear of the car behind the headrests, like a Carrera GT:

WTF was it?! Me and Dan are stumped...

No ridges on the back Smile Close though, it did look quite a lot like an 8C. Right size etc.

The Solstice is meant to drive very well. Unlike most Pontiacs, sadly !

IS200 Turbo project now just about complete ! See my thread here and leave your comments.

Yeah, the ever-reliable wikipedia tells me it's a RWD 2.0 turbo with ~220bhp, LSD as standard and sub 5.5 0-60!

Never even heard of it before, let alone seen one.

It's a real shame that GM got into real financial trouble just when they had put in a proper plan and started creating some really nice cars (solstice, camaro and CTS are a few examples)

The RHD camaro was something I was really looking forward to Confusedad:

2002 '02' IS200 SE Auto - DVD Satnav with Voice Activation - [COLOR="Blue"]Strathcaron Blue - Parking Sensors - 5000K HIDs with Anti-Glare Bulbs - PIAA 6500K Main Beams - LED Sidelights - Mirror/Sunroof Closure - TTE Styling Kit - 18" Styling Kit Alloys with nitrogen filled Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric Tyres - Bluetouch Multimedia Kit - Gromaudio AUX in - Black painted calipers with silver Lexus decals - 12 LED Dome Light - 96 LED Boot Light - Stainless Steel Sport Sill Plates - PIAA Silicone Wipers[/COLOR]
