2008 Pontiac Solstice Special

The Solstice GXP is the first modern car I’ve ever felt like licking. More hygienically, the petite Pontiac is a slam dunk that shatters the backboard of gorgeous. I could describe the velvety sexiness of each angle. The perfectly judged headlight cluster. The long, European nose and properly sculpted flanks. The classic five spoke alloys. Suffice it to say, look at the pictures. Spitting out 130hp-per-liter from its 2.4 liter engine, allowing for it to put out a jaw dropping 260 horse power from its 4-cylinder engine, the GXP's direct-injected mill produces the highest specific output of any GM engine. Ever! Here's the truth. Very few cars are as entertaining to fling around bent back roads as the Solstice GXP. Turn in: sharp. Chassis: flat. Attitude: neutral. Brakes: faultless.
