gm has moved to teh "european" styling on teh vete because they actually plan to start offering it as a regular production car all over teh world. until late in the C5 run(2 or 3 years ago) gm only offfered the vette in 4 countries on teh whole planet.
the C6 will be offered all over europe and will most likely sell well against europes continental offering simply because of the bang for the buck value.
and don't worry about top gear, as soon as those baggers hear a car is from america they startt bashing on it or sellign it short. if you watch their attempt at ripping the vette you will see at teh track it landed well up the tiem charts at their test facility, teh comparisons to "better" cars they made were all to cars taht cost twice as much, and the only consistant rip they had on teh car was that it rides harsh(something that is mentioned in some of the domestic press as well)
as far as teh solstice, it will be supercharged because gm has known reliability with small blowers. gm hasn't offered a turbo car in a decade and a half, but they have had superchargers since the late 80's. i wish it was turbo too, but gm won't step out on that limb until until they get bean coiunter approval.
later
