the problem is GM comes on with everything to slow, when something new happens they wait to see how the Market will react...IE, Dodge released the PT Cruiser, and Now over 5 years latter GM is doing the HHR...the market is flooded with PT Cruisers, people are tired of seeing them, and now GM releases their look-a-like...Dodge and GM are flooding the Market with Retro-Stlyed cars, and in 3 years GM is gonna release its retro styled Camaro...think about it GM...do it right...The Solstice I think was the right car at the right time...Great looking sporty car...the problem, lack of advertising, and they didnt advertise it cause its gutless...If they had used the 260hp 2.2 turbo eco-tec as the performance Package, then they could bang up excitment about the car, sell a ton of the basic 4cyls and then a few turbo solstice...but GM missed the mark AGAIN...the problem is someone in the GM heirarchy is afraid to take chances...GM is going in the tank and someone needs to step up and swing away, because if they don't hit a home run here soon they are out of the game period

And never mind the price for the packages, it would be cheaper to do it yourself(look better too).
If the package includes some good performance gain i.e. supercharger or a big motor then its not too bad. Its just the sticker and wheels packages that are cheese to me.

Imagine---Chevy building a RCSB truck with a 6.2L, blower, cam, 4.10 gears/posi blah blah blah.....
Every **** head with a fat wallet and zero engine knowledge would be kicking our asses at the track with an "off the showroom floor" truck. I'd be pissed and so would you.
Modding your truck is what makes it "your truck" I dont think I'd buy a truck built like that from the factory, it wouldn't be as fun.

When I buy it, then it will be considered mine, and made my own truck with mods to add onto where GM left off.

remember you haven't reached your full HP potential until you install a tornado.
