I may be buying a Solstice targa coupe for my 4 car garage, before heading back to Germany. I only have three vehicles in there at present. I like the Sky better, but doesn't come in a coupe ...

I'm going down this week to look at it close up ...

I suppose I could get a car cover for the Cobalt... least I could do is put my gift from PCS in the garage...

Passed Perrine Pontiac this morning on Rte. 130 in Cranbury, NJ and they're stocking 3. Damn. Was it Red/Orange, Black? I can't recall, didn't stop.

But they look very sharp sitting there in the drizzle.

If we're talking about the same dealer, when I was G8 shopping "they" back in February told me an official from GM was bringing a coupe over the next day for a special preview and I almost went back to see it. Too bad, however, in the end they and I didn't work out regarding the G8. Jersey did.

I've always been a Solstice fan and through my, uh, 3 '08-09 GM vehicles considered one more than once. Just wasn't a great daily driver, and I always preferred a coupe/roof over the convertible...problem solved, at least on the latter, now. Make mine a GXP. The G8 could always use a friend. Hah.

Yep...that would be who I'm talking about. A little south and to the left, from you, right over the border, ey?

Exactly, they treat me like family. My last 5 cars, I just went there and took the car, once I decided I wanted it. I did the paperwork and exchanged the cash a week or two later, they always say we never worry about you or your money, just got to love that ...

So what's the holdup?

Go get it.

I had it held at the Wilmington plant, I want to go over it's computer records especially the water test. It also doesn't have all the options I would have ordered. This car, if I get it, will be my daughters, a present from me ...

Nice present

She is a straight A student, I have her in an all girls Catholic Academy, and never gives me any trouble. She just got accepted to the University of Notre Dame, IN. and will be graduating a year early from high school. She deserves it, she works hard in school, and wants to become a medical doctor, and has wanted that since she was about 4 years old ...

Definitely very good reasons to be proud of her.

I thought for sure though that you would have bought her a new G8. :AH-HA_wink:

Awesome present, if you do it. As for the dealer, I agree, and most went well in my regard there (great place...I'm picky), but my new favorite little place in Jersey just read my mind & felt like home in a way they couldn't match. It was a hard choice, for the most part.

Intrigued to hear more about this if it happens...and to see how this particular car is equipped. Cool to have insider info, to check every little detail.

Go for it, I wish I could afford to do stuff like that for my kids! So what model is it? Base or GXP, 5spd or automatic? Your daughter will certainly love that car, I am sure mine would too.

That's odd, in Canada you can only get the targa as teh GXP

:stupid:

That might be so, but in Canada you get an G3 Sedan and Hatch. A G5 Sedan and Coupe. In America we get two flavors of the Solstice Coupe for once we get something you don't. :neenerneener:

Can you PM some info about this Jersey dealer? My local dealers are atrocious, and I need to find a better dealer. I just don't have the time to drive all over Jersey to screen them.

Definitely...definitely. In a few hours, at most :AH-HA_wink: Good enough for me to drive 2 hours north, and we have pretty good ones down here as it is.

I'd give both of them up for a Solstice targa that didn't cost forty grand... :P

I knew you'd say that. I'd like all of them.
