The star of Disney-Pixar's summer blockbuster Cars is a red two-seater called Lightning McQueen, a good-looking race car with a whole lot of bluster but not a lot of depth.
The 2006 Pontiac Solstice is more of a car you wear than a car you drive.
"Is that a General Motors product?" asked a passerby as we labored to put the Solstice's manual top down.
The only active safety features on the 2006 Pontiac Solstice are daytime running lights and seat-belt pretensioners that cause the seat belt to tighten if the vehicle senses an accident or when the vehicle stops short.
