People say that who don’t t know the lineage of GM. Buick is top of the line and on par with Cadillac. Oldsmobile would be next then Chevy and pontiac come next. Chevy and Pontiac were performance driven whereas the other 3 where more drive ability and comfort.

That's the first time "top of the line" and "GM" have been used in the same sentence since Franklin Roosevelt was re-elected President in 1941.
The Solstice is one of those cars we’d say to our mates we’d never buy but deep down the thought of owning one has dropped by a few times

Fun fact about the Solstice/SKY the engine bay was actually designed to have an LS3, but when GM saw the power to weight ratio they decided it was to crazy, so they switched it to a 4 banger, but the LS3 still fits like a glove.

The sax is a nice touch 😂 I own an 08 GXP and make no apologies for it. It’s a really fun car to own and drive. If that featured car’s a reflection of the owner, I’d say there’s some insecurities there. Should own it, love it, and absorb the hate to fuel you!
the wheels on these are 5x110 I know the pain of not being able to find good wheels without redrilling, adapters, or hub swaps....its GM and their "compact car bolt patterns"
This is my fav series by far good job fi
Gone for a long time and comes back roasting harder than ever
I've been waiting for this one!!
Why is the series so awesome 😂
You're a natural Dr. Steve Brule!!! LOL

Big fan of the dark humor in the beginning 😂
Finally! You are back!
Own a 07 GXP and have never had an issue with it, but then again I got only 39,500 miles on it and I don’t blow it up with unnecessary shit like this guy did 😂
As a Pontiac Solstice Owner and Enthusiast who was using Fitment Industries to research all the mods I am looking forward to adding, I don't understand the point of this Video. If it is too attempt shame and piss off a potential customer, good job, but WHY would you want to do that?!! I can't see the upside to this Video at all.
This reminds me so much of the Eric Andre show for sum reason
Dakota super slick with the Custom Offsets plug 😂
I just became a fan so fast. Hilarious video 😭 even though I still want the solstice
This is the exact editing I’d match with the Solstice

Yeah sorry man.....Imma have to hit a STRONG disagree on that one. And for one reason only, the solstice GXP's are unreliable as all hell. They are a nightmare to actually own. I had one for a while, and it hurt. Like, now it's a neat car arguably, it had some merits, but the unreliability and absurd repair costs are not worth it, not when a Miata exists. Now if you plan to replace most of the solstices parts from OEM anyway, well then, I guess it doesn't matter as much, but stock to stock, it's no contest lmao.
I'm surprised no one said "how does it feel to own a midget sized Ferrari"
🤣 this video is hilarious
So good to see Dakota back doing driver to driver
I am more worried about this series than my paycheck hitting the bank this afternoon
I have a solstice and this video is hilarious lol

Before I watch the rest of this video...I only like this car because It’s Jazz from the Transformers movie that came out in 2007.
Had a good laugh when he said planet car 😂

Jazz from Transformers... The only reason to get one.

Well....at least the Solstice will live on preserved digitally in the NFS: Prostreet game.
It would be awesome to see Dakota do a test drive of all of their cars after they have stated their cases then gives an honest opinion on the car
I have seen stanced solstice’s , they are pretty sweet looking. It’s like getting a Miata if you’re to too tall of fat to fit in one , you’d get a solstice or (even worse) the sky
That was a good laugh, but if you don’t want a cookie cutter vehicle like everyone else is driving then...my solstice is better than your cookie...get a rare car and learn how to do things to it. There is plenty...if you have skill...that you can do to mod it. Fun video guys.
