Mazda Trumps Pontiac: Pontiac Solstice vs Mazda MX-5 Miata

[glassbridge]

Who cares about that horsepower when you can't handle the tight curves in the road. MX-5 is as close to 50/50 weight distribution as you can get, and the traction control is superior. And Solstace is too fat and bulky. (Not to mention, it's still a Pontiac). When you buy an MX-5 you buy Mazda racing heritage. What does ponitac have? It doesn't even handle the road. Horsepower is all it has. No chance of overtaking the MX-5 in Roadster market dominance. Solstace is a thing of the past

Wow, leave it to the Jap importers to take the cheesiest way to go. The Miata has always been a stubby little chick car, cheesy in every way. The Solstice is much sharper and more powerful than any other two-seater in its class. Sorry, but Mazda earns extra LAME-points for this one.

I'd Take a Solstace any day over a MX-5, the GXP has 260HP!

This is an oldie but goodie that I could not share until now as we were still managing all of Mazda's Search Engine Marketing Programs; last quarter we were sat down in the conference room and told 'you're fired'!
