You might be able to get two of these for the price of a TVR... So you could have one to beat up for racing, and another to keep nice for cruising.

From what I've looked at, the GXP is probably around $30,000(US) and you might add another $5k or so for a GXP-R. Not bad at all for under $40,000... (Provided dealers don't get greedy and mark up the thing like crazy. Even the plain ones don't seem too common for a slick little $20,000-something MSRP car.)

i would much rather have the atom 2(since i live in america). The Solstice is definately a good cruising car, ill give it that. But when you take it to higher speeds, it seemed to get pretty figity. So what happens when you add much more power, guess ill have to find out!

the scene though for those pictures is pretty sweet too...i think im gonna have to try that for my next render.

Looks nice but I think its lacking something. The stance of the car reminds me of an S2000, but thats no bad thing. Still I'd rather take a TVR

ZVRs have never appealed to me, probably their shapes are too futuristic... i'd go for the S2000

Sorry guys but I'm going to have to say that I hate the look of the car, I still can not believe that Rys Millen agreed to drift the Solstice.

Now even though the Saturn Sky is the same chassis as the Solstice, I much prefer the look of it over the Solstice. Pontaic needs to get away from always using the two large grill openings.

The only problem with that is, its their corporate grill, and theyll never get rid of it. They ruined the GTO with it, they should have just kept it like the Holden Monaro, but nooooo, they have to put the corporate grill on...

Totally agree with you IC. It seems that nobody is coming out with origanl concept. Nissan is apparently coming out with a new 2 door Nissan Altima. Good for them, two bad the body is a G35. Given, Infiniti is part of the Nissan corp., but please can no one come out with the new style.

oh yeah yeah. i see.. thats a new design.. makes sense , since the new skyline R35 is coming out they figured they'll make the body of the v35 Coupe for the Altima, and let Infinity continue using it for G35. yup.. it makes sense now.. thanks bro

I like it. A bit pricey though, imo.
