I just had the opportunity to see a Solstice live, in person, at my local Pontiac dealer. I have to admit it is much better looking than any pictures I have seen. However, with the top down, there is little or no easily used storage space in the trunk. To even place a few bags of groceries or shopping bags, you have to lift the top slightly in order to expose the 'storage' space. I am guessing you could load maybe five normal sized bags typical of the grocery stores in my area.
Also, because of the 'wings' at the back of the top, those are released when the clamshell is opened and must be moved to lift the boot. Not a big problem, but depending on how often you open it; it might prove iritating.
Forget putting any kind of luggage or a golf bag (maybe a stand bag, but definitely not a cart bag) in the trunk. I wish a had taken my clubs with me, but by my estimate, a stand bag might not fit.
The car is a bit wider than I anticipated. Sitting in the car, I could not touch the interior passenger door. For me, this is the same as when I sit in my ION if that helps others visualize.
Talking with the salesman, he said that dealership is NOT putting a premium on the cars. They are taking orders only and are receiving one or two a month.
All of that said, it's a great looking car and should be fun to drive.
