Pontiac: G8 & Solstice not being canceled http://www.fquick.com/blog/Pontiac_G..._canceled/2388
Past rumors said they planned to kill both cars, guess not.

I'm 6'0" 170lb and I don't fit in the Sky/Solstice. I have about a quarter inch between the bottom of the steering wheel and my legs, and the wheel was as high as it would go. If there was a height adjustment for the seat, then I couldn't find it. Ironically, I fit in a Miata and S2000 just fine.

Whaaat? This makes no sense to me. I am 6'1" and 170lbs. I fit just fine into both cars. I have a friend with a Miata and when I'm cruising down the road, the dumb sun visor is right in my line of sight. You know you have to bend your knees to get into the car, right? The seat also slides back...the lever is under the front of the seat...

If they discontinue the G8 it would be a horrible mistake. All GM needs to do is advertise! Market this **** against the Accord and Camry. RWD, more power and definitely looks better than the Camry.

I'm not your average 6'0". My legs are almost exactly 4 feet long. My dad, who is 5'9"-5'10"ish is taller than me when we're sitting down. I can get in and out relatively easily, but there was barely more than a quarter inch between my legs and the wheel. If the wheel went up just a tad bit more, I'd buy the Sky Redline as my next car in a heartbeat. Maybe there was a seat height adjustment that I couldn't find, but last time I was in one, there wasn't enough room to spin the wheel all the way without hitting my legs.
