Saw the C&D review. Hard to believe how badly it clobbers the Solistice and then they proceed to pick the Sol neeways.
 
8 mpg better, quicker, better brakes, better cornering limit, 400 lbs lighter, and they pick the Pontiac.

Well, we all know those magazines are a little suspect. Wasn't C&D the magazine that named the Renault Alliance car of the year?? How can you have any credibility after that??? LOL
 
They certainly wouldnt want to upset any of GM's ad dollars...

I'm sure that had some influence...
 
You can't even put the Solistice's top down from the driver's seat.

from other mags are great! I don't remember every magazine raving so much about a car since the E36 M3. I'm really excited to start seeing these things on the road.

Picked up a 06 by ryanrec

I purchased a 06 MX-5 about a week ago. I have a Black Grand Touring 6 speed with the suspension package. It is an absolute blast to drive. The acceleration is about the same as the Mazdaspeed except you don't have to wait for a turbo to kick in. The handling is unbelievable and its not too rough even with the suspension package. I am 6 feet tall and I have no problem with visibility out the front window, which is a change from my 01 model. The car has a very similar feel to my 01 except its a little larger, better handling, brakes, and acceleration. The leather seats are comfortable. The only complaint I have is I am not too fond of all the hard plastic in the interior.

Congrats, I think you're the first in the Town Hall to get one. I'm jealous!

Thanks...a couple more observations. The AC works great (better than the 01 model. The 6 speed seems to require a little more effort though to shift than the 01 5 speed. I noticed that there is no hot/warm air coming up from the parking brake nor from the floorboard. Its hard to keep in under 80mph on the freeway.
