I've seen them go for well under $30K. $27-28K seems to be the norm depending on your options.

Get the forg outta here, the solstice might have a crappier interior, but it looks like gaseous sex.

I'm inclined to disagree. The Solstice is, IMO, the worst looking of the three cars (Opel GT, Sky, Solstice) inside and out. It's just retardedly bubbly. The Sky has sleek, sharp lines and looks like a proper new-age roadster. :)

NEW STI or a 335i/135i/535i.

I say get a sick 535i wagon and go from there. How many shops have 1000hp wagons as their shop car? DOOOOO ITTTTTTTT

Which is outrageous. Also, I would hardly consider the STi, or EVO for that matter, "hot". Especially at that price.

While the Sky does have sharp lines, they give the car an angular feeling and a boy-racer look. I mean, look at it: http://www.businessweek.com/the_thre...chives/sky.jpg

It looks like it was made with a ruler compared to the Solstice.

It's a turbocharged, two-seater convertible with almost no practicality. It should look like a boy-racer car. lol

Perhaps, but the Solstice looks like something Humpty Dumpty would crap out after eating a Mazda Miata and Pontiac Grand Am while suffering from mass indigestion.

BMW I35i......easy question....400whp/450wtq with software. They are the same price as a new Sti and so much nicer/faster.

3 years ago I was the only one bringing an E36 M3 to car meets that wern't all BMW. Now I go to the varsity and they are all over the place!..to the point where my car is almost "another tuner." In reality though, tuning BMW's in the ATL scene is growing but still exclusive. Its hot right now...peolpe want them and i'm not being a loyalist or a brand whore...people flat out want to mod BMW's...the 335 is one of the hottest cars to have right now, the 135 will be even better..and starting around 34k its the same pice as an EVO/STi.

agreed, a 135i would be the smartest choice but a 535i wagon would be so ****ing sick.

id like to see a cheaper car with a build, rather than a buying a new car and adding expensive parts the regular joe wouldnt even think about buying..
