Solstice is a Sunfire with a new look. In 10 years, let us know how the quality of your product is holding up.
Solstices are junk, but girls like them.. as in, if you're a girl, GREAT RIDE OMG but if you're a guy.. you might be better served in anything else.
So yeah, Z over GXP all day/night long. Just my two cents

The rest of your ******** commentary isn't even worth replying to....
Owning a Z is owning a Z. How would you tell a really hot girl what kind of car your drive when you have to say I Drive A Poniac Solstice GXP (lol) or I drive a Z 
Most girls know what Z's are. Im pretty sure now with the 370z coming out it will be even more of an eye catcher at first site no matter where your at as apposed to the solstice which looks the same as all the other poniac solstices... To me this shouldn't be a hard choice, 370z hands down.

The sad thing is that you think owning a NISSAN somehow makes you cooler than owning a Pontiac.And I love how in your comparison you put an emphasis on the brand when you say "Pontiac Solstice", but you fail to mention the brand when talking about a "Z". It's "Pontiac Solstice" versus "Nissan 370Z". Most women, contrary to what your shallow, dumbass thinks, are going to hear Pontiac and Nissan. Neither is very impressive.

If that was my main intention of owning a car, I doubt I would have chosen a Z. A little bit of common sense goes a long way. Don't take what I said out of context. If any person needs a car to keep a girl, that is horrible. This is an opinion based topic, I don't see how my opinion and your post has anything to do with this thread. If my comments are a bit to strong for you, by all means take a deep breath, then come back and talk to me. Same goes for the other guy who "tried" to lash out at me lol.

You gave your opinion on the GXP as if it was a fact, and I think that is where the problem came in. Im not even a solstice fan, but I must give credit where credit is do.

exactly. the delivery of your opinion was very matter-of-fact. i agree with what you are saying as far as it being a "chick magnet" more than the solstice, but the way you said it made you sound like a 19 year old that wants to go hit the clubs every weekend to pick up girls in your hawt car.

The closest thing to a Solstice I've driven is a "base" Saturn Sky. It has almost 21k miles in it, and the 3rd gear was already grinding. The car is as cramped as a Miata. It's just not that comfortable, and it didn't have much of a sporty feel to it. It might serve it's purpose, but it's not a friendly daily driver.

I thought I'd start another "vs" thread... there can never be too many of them. 
Both 2-seat, short, have about the same HP and TQ, Solstice weighs less and supposedly has better handling but crap interior. I don't know about the prices, but I assume GXP will be quite a bit cheaper.
So... anyone considering GXP as 370Z competitor?

WAY TO BE BRYAN. OH and BTW i will also put myself up on the chopping block here with my opinion. I prefer the 350 over the 370 the lights and front bumper on the 370 is a bit too aggressive to flow with the rest of the otherwise smooth lines of the car. but to stay on point with the OP's question. 370 over GXP. just the visual asthetics are more pleasing with the 370.all my own opinion if it seems i was stating facts my bad.. not intentional

Ignorance is bliss. Nissan and Pontiac are identically ranked by JD Power accross the board, including quality.

I wanted to buy a Solstice until I kept seeing the bad reviews. You compare Pontiac with Nissan only, which really skews things. Look at the reviews for the Solstice and you will discover that it rates consistently average or below average in quality even from the source you sited.

Overall mechanical quality: Below average
