Solstice Pics - Review Coming Tomorrow

Sorry the review's not done, I wasn't able to drive it last night, my coworkers conspired against me. However, I DID get the pics of the car before I had to dash out. Here they are:

Very nice pics, to bad you didn't get to drive it. I am seeing things or does the engine cover say "VVT" which I would assume means Variable Valve Timing. Could GM finally be on the band wagon of this fad of computer controlled timing instead of just relying on the double cam setup?

From what I have heard, they will need to go in the seat! the trunk is only 3.8 cubic feet with the top up. Top down and you are down to 1.4 c.f. Here is the Pontiac website. Ultimately the Solstice/Sky are going to be great second cars but impractical as a primary. But (seeing as you are getting married and I already am) it should be OK as long as the wife's car is more practical.

Thanks for the pics, btw. That car looks very, very cool. Good luck with the review and test drive!

yeah, it hasn't been promising for quite some time now, but i don't plan on having one for a primary car (it'll be my primary modding car, and i plan to know it in and out).

i really like the dash setup, wouldn't be too hard to add some more guages by the looks of it, AND still look stock!

Looks sweet! Take a pic of it with the top up too if you could! I think the only pics I've seen so far are all top down.

hmmm The sky > solstice as far as exterior styling. That reverse hood is cool. I am not really digging the interior a whole lot.
