There's no redline or gxp mentioned. It seems like they might have faired better.

how did the solstice get a higher performance rating than the sky? Considering their performance is actually almost identical yet somehow they ranked the sol higher, this pretty much invalidates those rankings for me right from the start.

This is what I found interesting, since only the first has a "full review".

Reviewers see its soft top and new power folding hardtop as the best in their class, though the MX-5 falls short of competitors on interior room. If you're in the market for a convertible, you should also consider the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky. AND

Though the Pontiac Solstice recently trumped the MX-5 as the most affordable roadster convertible in its class, the MX-5's new retractable hardtop model is the least expensive of its kind.

Interesting that the review keeps going back to the kappa platform-- That whole review sucks-- That is why I read a lot, check everything, then I go to the dealer and check them out for myself with my own but in the seat--

And they gave the Sol a 5 for reliability and the Sky a 6.5? How can they possibly discern how reliable the Kappas will be after just 1.5 model years?
