It's not an exotic car price wise. But it's exceedingly rare, so far.

I think the Pontiac Solstice is just a rebadged Saturn Sky. There's a huge demand for these cars but GM insists on making more Suburbans.

Here's a car I saw at a local parking lot. I have no idea what it is. It's an old car, looks like from the 70s. I think it was a Ford GT or something like that.
