My brother works for GM, he got a company model down for us to check out. It's not really that fast, 177 hp ecotec 4-cyl, but the handling was sick. You sit really low in the car and the shifter is up below the shoulder, it has a nice armrest to put your arm up. Lots of fun to drive, only complaints are visiblity is POOR, even in the front. There is a roll bar thing on the front window and I couldn't even seen the stoplights above me. But this is all to be expected. Not many people have seen it before so I got a lot of stares and finger pointing. Fun to be center of attention LOL.

Cool car did you like it.

Posted by: brentalan

Yeah, I would consider buying one if I didn't already have 3 cars. It's a great alternative to an econobox for commuting. My commute is 90 miles round trip, so the gas prices are killing me. Something like this would be nice because it gets the same mileage as the econoboxes, but is a lot more fun (convertible, 5-speed, RWD, 245/45/18 tires)

I think it looks cool.

who makes that car

Posted by: FreeFaller

Big dog...It's made by pontiac. Mad Miata (excuse me MX-5) competition. I think they look sweet as hell though. Slap the SC from a Cobalt SS on there and you got yourself one hell of a little roadster.

So Brent, who's in the passenger seat? You take your mom out for a cruise?

Posted by: brentalan

Oh, it's small, but def. bigger than a miata.

The passenger is a friend of mine from work. She came up with me to check it out too.
