First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Soltice and Sky are the same car , BUT If I had bought a Soltice and had the money , I would by the front quarters from a Sky and out on my Solstice, also, I`d have the grilles inset...dont like them flush...and a couple of other "architectural" changes... the Caddy has that neat CTS now...I really like it and when I bought my Volvo C70 almost 2 yrs ago, it was between the CTS and the Volvo, had the CTS had a convertible...it would have been a very hard choice for me... my Firebird is currently at Huston Autorama with 13 other HALF members!

It seems like it would make more corporate sense to ditch GMC and have one brand name rather than keeping two alive. But that's just me. I think Buick needs to go in a bad way! Caddy makes some cool stuff... if you're into 5k lbs 4 doors with big motors. I dunno, I think that the whole GM corporation needs to undergo some MAJOR changes... until it does so, it will not be able to get out of it's own trouble. The fit and finish of interiors is the first thing! My goodness! Follow what BMW and Volvo and other European car makers are able to do... (Niklas can step in here) Those interiors are VERY nice! They don't fall apart etc. They also make performance cars which are in the same price line as other cars like the new BMW M3... and are not anywhere near as nice. It just seems to me that they really need to step it up a notch and go back to the days of quick cars with out options and decent interiors. Who needs Navigation? 10 spearker sounds systems? Etc? BMW realizes that and offers a stripped out model of the M3. Chevrolet? Not so much it seems. Though you can configure one from the website, I've hardly been able to find one at a dealer. I lost my faith in newer GM vehicles when I had my GMC truck. It was the worst pile of junk I've ever owned. My Dad now has an '04 GMC, it too has had numerous problems which just doesn't seem right for someone who has been building cars and trucks for a LONG time. This is why I have my old Firebird, it is dead nuts reliable, quick, and fun. I don't have to worry about it falling apart. /rant on GM.
