See the thread on the MSN most popular car list - Sky #3......Solstice #7.

IMO IMO IMO
Other than the fact that GM decided that they need to make twice as many Solstices as they do Sky's, you mean?

FYI, I haven't seen "tons" of TV ads for the Solstice. In fact I haven't seen a single Solstice specific ad at all. I've seen GM ads or Pontiac ads where the Solstice is one of several vehicles featured, but as a halo vehicle for the brand I don't find that particularly excessive.

I don't know enough about the Speed Channel show to comment one way or the other.

And as far as the Transformer movie goes, they are featuring a fleet of GM vehicles, to include a Hummer, a Chevy Camaro and a GMC Truck. It seems like Saturn is one of the only GM brands not worthy of celebrity status...

Just my opinion, of course.
