Volvo Gets Sportier and Futuristic

The sporty car segment of the auto industry has more to give. From sleek sedans to retro roadsters, the said segment has a wide variety of options to entice car aficionados. These sporty cars are priced from a minimum of around $16,000 to just over $40,000.

One of the stunning cars on the roads these days is the Pontiac Solstice, a roadster introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show. The car uses the GM Kappa platform which it shares with the Opel GT and Saturn Sky. According to some enthusiasts, driving a Pontiac Solstice is like driving a sharpened pencil. This is how thrilling the Solstice could be. As a fact, the car has been a runaway success for Pontiac. In the first 10 days of availability there were already 7,000 recorded orders. In addition, before winter came, 6,000 more orders came in. Last year, the car was also nominated for the North American Car of the Year award and Design of the Year award from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).

One of Pontiac Solstice’s close rivals is the MX-5 Miata from Mazda. The Mazda MX-5 is a roadster famed for its lightweight materials and flexibility. The car was designed with a conventional front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension. It comes with an enhanced interior and a brand new elegance.
