		<description>Boxter us in there: it&#039;s porsche&#039;s version of the miata. a honda will only beat a mazda or gm product to the junkyard


sharpie: what are you talking about. I thought i made it perfectly clear that I considered gave the miata credit for reviving interest in the &quot;small roadster&quot; segment.

The other cars, even though they may be better than the miata, are still knockoffs. had the miata flopped, would there be a solstice? No.

The dodge demon looks cool, and I hope they make it, but I&#039;m not buying one</description>

		<description>&quot;Miata and knockoffs. . .&quot; by jackjimturkey

You can&#039;t call Miata knockoffs and rank Sol/Sky #1.  They have the look and that&#039;s about all they have.  S2000 beat both the Miata and Sky/Sol hands down, but we are talking a lot more money, same thing with the Z3.  So again, your list is comparing orange to apple.  Why don&#039;t you throw a Porsche in there then?

For the money, Miata reigns, but doesn&#039;t look as nice as Sky/Sol.  The Renault is uglier than any roadster I can remember, and yes it is ranked behind the Demon unless the Made in China car is no more than tin can on wheels.

FYI, there are devoted fans or cults following the Miata both in the US and worldwide since the 1990s.  So much for your ill-informed knockoffs comment.</description>

		<description>jack: reault &amp; nissan have some sort of conjunction together. dont remember what other nissan cars is based on renults or the other way around. 

AMGoff: I like GM (for their corvette and silverado, avalanche too as well as some caddies, tahoes and suburbans), but fanboys like v-series and gmsales piss the **** off me. I respect domestic fans, not their fanboys, or whoever bags on other imports/domestics ignorantly, but I just don&#039;t like fanboys at all.</description>

		<description>It&#039;ll probably sell as a Nissan in the US, like their Versa is really a Clio. That would be nice though if unlikely.</description>

		<description>I wouldnt get a miata, but I know some guys who used those cars as track/auto-x cars. I tried it, and the handling, and response was good! though the suspension and a stabilizer bar was in it. over all, it is a great car. but I&#039;m into subarus for now.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not concerned about being called feminine, I just think the miata is. I wish I had a Hennessy Viper, but i don&#039;t. Viper&#039;s not really my speed, give me a maranello.

Me: If I did drive a miate, you think i would admit it?</description>

		<description>So, jackjimturkey, you laugh at men and women who drive miatas. It&#039;s too bad you would never drive one (or its &quot;knock-offs&quot;) or risk being called feminine, right? I&#039;m sure the &quot;balls-out&quot; Hennessy Viper in your garage exudes your testosterone levels enough. Don&#039;t worry, you&#039;re covered. But, then again, if you didn&#039;t drive them how can you come up with your cool little random lists of best to worst?? Oh and good call lumping the Civic in with a Yugo. BTW, I don&#039;t have a miata, but they are a blast to drive.</description>

		<description>GM sales: They&#039;re all 4-cylinder convertible type cars (&#039;cept boxster and some z3s), not quite with the balls-out power of a sports car, but zippier that a piece of excrement such as a yugo or civic. 

Not my cup of tea, but if I wanted such a car, i&#039;d get the sky.

Should&#039;ve bought a Saturn years ago, instead of a honda</description>

		<description>CTS the miata could be called an MG ripoff, but that sort of car faded away back when the fiero and original mr2 were on the market. The miata represented the return of that type of car to american popularity.

htay: I don&#039;t have a problem with the quality of the miata, but compared to all it&#039;s knockoffs, it&#039;s underpowered, overpriced and feminine

I laugh at any &quot;man,&quot; that drives a miata, and at any women older than 22 who drives one


and you meant &quot;exceeding,&quot; not &quot;succeding.&quot; I stand firm that the GM twins are of higher quality and will prove more durable</description>

		<description>The Solstice and the Sky are above the others in performance, quality and certainly reliability. They&#039;re hot right now. The rest of your list is filled with a bunch of loser pansy-mobiles. That is what I meant.</description>

		<description>I messed up.
Miata should be between boxster and renault.

GM sales: Why should the solstice and sky not be there?

The only thing a vette and a civic have in common are four wheels. 

For one, a person with a brain would buy a Vette.</description>

		<description>Yay, so renault is joining the girlie roadster group. 

Solstice and Sky should remain at the top of the roadster class. Nobody can trust renault anymore cause their reliabililty has always been horrid. It&#039;s actually worse than the Miata.</description>

		<description>Solstice GXP all the way!!  260hp, 260ft/lb of torque, in a 2900lb car.  0-60 in 5.2 seconds.  It outruns all of its competition... BMW Z4, Porsche Boxster, S2000, 350Z, MR2, and the MX-5.  Plus, its American made so you know it will run forever.</description>

		<description>I agree, it does look a little like the Celica. The headlights are terrible. I think they need to build the dodge demon. Normally I don&#039;t like aggressively styled cars, but with a roadster that small, I think you need an aggressive look. That&#039;s the problem with the miata.</description>

		<description>Depending on price, I&#039;d take this over a Miata any day (looks-wise), and certainly over BMW&#039;s overdone soul-less Weiberwagen Z4 POS, but I think the Solstice looks better than all of them.  The verdict is still out on the Sky.</description>

		<description>Or maybe a new 200SX (like the one the rest of the world got, not the 2 door Sentra of the late 90s)

Still it is ugly!  The front end looks like a very fugly Toyota Celica!  And recent Renault reliability is unknown in the US.  For that, I would rank it behind the tried and true MX5 Miata for its reliability and handling and second year Sky/Sol for the look.</description>

		<description>Not an attractive design at all.. and isn&#039;t it interesting that many of the design cues look lifted straight from any given Nissan (particularly the wheel arches, door curvature and rising beltline).  I imagine this would probably be sold as the Nissan Pulsar or NX if offered in the US.</description>

		<description>It could be a hard edged miata. Its almost looks like an old 350Z front with current day nissan headlights and a blown out solstice back. I could see some chicks driving this car just like the miata. Similar demographic.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s strange, I laughed when GM was 16 years late to the Miata party with the Solstice/Sky. What award do you get for missing the market worse than GM?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t like the front end that much, hopefully that will change with the Nissan varient.

The rear end reminds me of a Pontiac Solstice, but all in all it looks like a good car. With a reasonable price, good performance, and maybe a performance varient, this would be a really neat car.</description>
