I think the Solstice looks alright but the Saturn Sky, its platform twin, looks better.

agreed on that the sky does look better, and they they need more power. They look like they want more.

I was also reading an article and it had where some of its parts came from
Like all affordable sports cars, the Pontiac Solstice borrows stuff from unexpected places.

* Five-speed manual gearbox: Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon
* Rear differential: Cadillac CTS
* Seat frames: Brazilian Chevrolet/Opel Corsa
* HVAC control module: Hummer H3
* Door handles: Chevy Cobalt
* Side mirrors: Fiat Barchetta
