That Solstice above looks like a pathetic copy of an S2000 or Z3/Z4.

Btw, the Solstice is built for people taller than 5'8 and shorter than 6'1 since it does not have height adjustable seats and very little seat travel.

Solstice looks nothing like an S2000 or a Z4 other than it's a roadster. Now compare pricing. If anything it looks a bit like the small Jag roadster prototypes that were running around a few years ago.

As for height, People whine about how tiny the first Miatas are but at 6'2" and 230lbs I fit just fine. Small? Yes. Can I deal with it? Yes. The Solstice has more than enough room for me and my friend who sits at the 6'7" 250lb mark didn't complain either. If Jay's car hadn't been for sale I would have happily waited a couple years and bought a GXP.

^^ I have no idea how you fit in a Miata. I seriously don't, and I'm 6'3" with a 34/35" inseam. I can't comfortably sit there and work the pedals.

I've always loved Miatas, but I just don't fit. It makes Chuck Norris sad.

The miata has more room than most cars it's size imo. I can't believe GM didn't put height adjustable seats in that car neither... considering just how small it is.
