As far as a pile of crap, well I'm not sure I can agree with that, at least not any longer. Most of the US stuff are "muscle cars" rather than "sports cars" admittedly (because that's what the buying public wants and that's what counts), but the recent models (particularly from GM and Ford) have made great strides in handling and looks in my opinion, but that is always in the eye of the beholder.

In general the forum has definitely slowed down. I suspect it will continue to slow until there is real news about a Mk2.
In the days leading up to launch, and even for a couple of years afterwards, when I checked the forum at my normal times (first thing in the morning, lunchtime, then once or twice in the evening) I'd have 5 or more pages of new post listings to meander through, and then a page or two of posts in each thread. For the past six months or so it has slowed down to a page or two of listings at the busiest, and I've dropped back to only checking once or twice a day most days.

I do however really like the Ford GT. it's got that old school race car look but still modern. I was talking to a guy because oddly enough was complementing my BRZ on how when he goes to autoX they're always a couple out there kicking the chit out of all the "big boy" cars like Vettes etc. So I asked him why he bought the GT and not something Italian or whatever. he said, "because every other d-bag on my street has one of those and I wanted something faster.". pretty cool guy. you'd never guess by looking at him that he lived where he did and drove the cars he had.

There have been a few true sports cars over the decades but none ever sold well even though they were generally pretty good cars.

I'd ride my bike in the rain before I drove a Solstice or Crossfire. flaming hot garbage.

Have you actually drove either? They are not even close to being as bad as some make them out to be. I actually considered both a few years back but simply could not find one for a price I was happy with.

Yep. Built during the Daimler days and pretty much all Mercedes components beyond the body. I drove a rental one for a week once and it was actually really, really nice. A highly underrated "American" sports car.

I liked the lines on the Saturn better than the Solstice. This is similar to the one I was eyeballing.
