cause GM screwed them up to begin with
[quote=97cavie24ls()]cause GM screwed them up to begin with GM scrwed up the coupe big time, but the roadsters are solid, especially the GXP/redline models. Where else can you get a convertable with 260 bhp that gets 29mpg highway? And thats underrated IMO as an owner. I've gotten 33mpg mixed driving with a 280whp tune. You couldn't ask for better ride quality and handling for the price. The lnf is solid to at least 400whp also.
It's death is a shame now that breakthroughs are being made to make big power on this platform (read as opening the gates to 500+whp).
The end of this platform cannot be a surprise to anyone, but at least there was a good 4-5 year run.
Sad to see but we all knew it was coming.
@!#$ GM idiots.
JGM T-SHIRTS!!!!

Being that Opel's and Daewoo's version was made at Delaware too, means it gone too.

As much as I liked these cars and as much I'd hate to admit it, but you're 100% correct.
Honda S2000 and Mazda MX-5 was so much better engineered and overall better cars.
Except for these...

as much as i hate to say it , MAZDA , honda , and BMW did better with theirs in most areas , to fit more people out there , the biggest problem with the car is no room , and that is a MAJOR problem
hell your lucky to get a string thong and a few pairs of socks in 1 , if you want the top down
the best chance for any room , woulda been with the coupe , but some DUMB ASS decied to make the window ONLY open , when the hatch is was partially there for the whole thing to open up , the pop up window is barely big enough to get your race suit and helmet inside
not to mention im only 5'10" , and when i sit in the coupe , i bang my head on the wanna be roll bar
the next biggest mess up , was not making the SKY into a coupe , the solstice doesnt have the best looking nose either

1 of the few things we agree on , lol
the only thing GM did right was make them easy to swap a V8 into them , though they coulda been alot lighter , but they do make great race cars , and that is the problem , not everyone wants a race car
S2000 maybe a better with cornering, certainly nowhere close in power
MX5, about as gay of a car as you can possibly buy

The replacement VX220 and Speedster were both on the Solstice/Sky platform as far as I know.

I think we agree on a lot things, especially the Vega. What I meant on I hate admitting (as a GM fan), it is that GM screwed up on this car.

And yet when it comes to the S2000 it as quick if not has a slight lead over a GXP/RL. So yhea, not close in power, but Honda knows how to get the job done.
I find it ironic that a Cobalt owner would call the MX-5 "gay." But seriously, the engineering that the MX-5 has gone through to make it a fun to drive car is something that sadly you can not find on any GM (except Corvette & Cadillac).
