My lease is up in 1 year and I have my eye on the soon to be releashed Pontiac Soltice or Saturn Sky with 240 horsepower.

Too bad that the next generation MCS is only going up 5 hp (165 to 170). They should have taken it to 200 hp minimally. Doesn't make sense with the competiion coming.

Ive never heard of either of the above cars until I read your post. Just checked them both out, nice cars, but why are you comparing the MCS to them?

Im guessing just by looking at them that they're rear wheel drive, its easier to control a rear wheel drive car with more horsepower than it is with a front wheel drive car like the MCS. Though, saying that some people on here have tuned their MCS's to 250BHP, which to me seems a little excessive, I cant see how having 250 horses with a front wheel drive car is necessary, alot of tyre usage thats for sure.
