This is one of the very few good looking and probably good performing American cars! It just gives a presentiment of a great car!

Very nice indeed, though why not admit it's a targa? the word is never mentioned, and in my opinion it was a great body style thats rather overlooked these days in favour of the often ungainly folding metal roof. also didn't the Solstice come before the Opel GT roadster?

Targa is actually a term used exclusively by Porsche, although us petrolheads often use it generically when describing cars with removable roof panels.

Side profile somewhat reminds me of a TVR. Not a bad car to look at i guess.

Very nicely executed, with some british taste. And, yes, Solstice was the base for Opel's GT. Too bad the latter was assigned the infamous dashboard from the Sky instead of this.

Good looking car, better than the roadster. The rear window/rear deck section is almost a pefect copy of BMW's Z4 coupe,which is a good thing.

Nice car overall. Never liked the roadster, but looks way better as a coupe. When will American manufacturers get it in their heads that chrome is BUTT UGLY??!?! I don't see anyone else ever doing this, why them? CHROME IS OUT!!!

Chrome has always been around, and far from being out it's a sign of distinction most of the time, except on radical sports cars. However I agree chromed wheels are generally butt ugly.

Oh yeah, sorry, I meant to specify chrome rims. I don't mind chrome on the body as long as its very selective and there;s very little of it. I find chrome looks cheap. For some reason, I keep seeing manufacturers in the US use chrome wheels. If I recall correctly, the new ZR1 has chrome wheels, the viper had chrome wheels...these all end up looking like tacky afermarket rims. They should stick with higher quality finishes, such as polished, anodized, or brushed finishes.

Like the article said, the car is based on european Opel GT Roadster. Does anybody know, if there will be an Opel GT Coupe in future too...?
