Mark up? You should say it better go away NOW. Not in June/July when reports say that GM cant sell there Cobalt because ahole dealres have them up 1200 bucks for a COMPACT CAR!!
Worst part is that GM has no control over it. You could get just about the same car over at Saturn with NO mark up.
That is what is going ot kill the Solstice, is when dealers have it marked up 1200-3k per car, youc an go down and get a Sky with no mark ups and haggling.

Anyway, glad you liked it. It seems to be the best handling compact out there. Did the one you drive have the peformance package of Recaros and LSD? A similar one handed the SRT4 its arse in a recent MT test where the Cobalt SS took #1 spot.
Only thing holding the SS back is the lack of tuning on GM's part for the 2.0 SC motor. Small rev band and top end is a little weak. Hopefuly the turbo 2.0 end up in the Cobalt and Ion next year.
