I think they're cool. Have you looked in the trunk though. Not much room for anything but a lunch box in there even with the top up. I've been looking around for a small and sporty scoot as a 3rd car for my better half since she succumbed to the minivan 4 yrs ago. I actually haven't ruled out the Solstice,mostly interested b/c of price.I'd really like to find a deal on G35 coupe though.

No. That's not a ricer. This is:
Seriously though, I'd never consider that (not the picture I posted, the car you posted) a ricer. Looks like a cool car, in my opinion.

Gotta agree with that. I saw the Sky in person before it was released to the public. Sat's got some other vehics coming out that are pretty cool.... though none of them hold a candle to the sky. The front end view of the Sky is much better looking than the Pontiac.

Solstice, eh? I guess it isn't rice (although the potential is surely there) but I would much prefer something with some muscle. Personally I'd look for a late model LS1 F-body, 3V Mustang, LS2 GTO, or like you mentioned, maybe a Vette.
In the category your looking at, though (small, half-way fuel efficient, sporty coupe) I'd opt for a 350Z/Infiniti G35 coupe long before the Solstice.

Unless you go to Wal*Mart and buy stuff to add to it (like those sweet plastic spinner hub caps) it is no ricer. It's a great looking car. I too like the looks of the Saturn Sky.

Those are ricers.Brian said:
The Solstice is a Pontiac, which precludes it from "ricer" status due to the fact that it's not a Japanese company . . .

So does that mean I'll be able to use my GM points to buy that G35? :laugh:

Brian, the Solstice I ordered Friday is the GXP version.
PS I can have the GXP without affecting my kid's college funds, the other cars do not fall into that category. :nod:
For the uneducated the performance numbers on the GXP are going to be inline with the BMW M4, and the Porshe Caymen.
I drove the Sky and looked at both of the cars over time. The Pontiac wins in my book. I guess I have a different eye for things.
I like the look of the current model GMC truck and loathe the current Chevy truck look. There isn't a Cadillac built any longer that aesthetically appeals to me either.

The new body 04-06 Stangs are a 3-valve 4.6. I had a lightly modded 01 2-valver, always wanted an 03-04 Cobra. I am now driving an FX4 Lariat Supercrew, but looking into a Lightning.

No, those are nice cars. Not necessarily fast, but well-built, quality cars. Sure, lots of dorks will rice them out, but in stock trim they are nice cars.

So any American car is precluded from the rice category? What about a tacky Cavalier or Neon wearing rice body garbage, neon lights, and sporting a 5" exhaust tip with 2.25" tubing from the tip-back?
