Replying to: fedlawman (Nov 12, 2007 4:44 am) Bob Lutz had a pricepoint in mind when he came up with the concept. That pricepoint was a lot lower once the beancounters got their say. "squeeky little japanese toys" LOL, My S is going on 4 years old and it doesn't squeek on bit. Still tight as a drum. Replies to this message: fedlawman (Nov 12, 2007 5:53 am)

Replying to: anythngbutgm (Nov 12, 2007 5:12 am) The target was under $20K IIRC. Americans have been describing Japanese cars with these terms for 30+ years - mostly out of insecurity. I'd feel insecure too if I spent $30,000 on a Solstice.
