Polaris Slingshot

babyzilla

I remember when the slingshot first came out and it definitely caught my eye, but as soon as I heard the engine was from Pontiac and the the transmission was from Saturn I was turned off. It looked pretty cool, at least to me, but it became an after thought fairly quickly. I'm in the market for a weekend car and the Nismo is probably my favorite sports car of all time. I'm just trying to wait it out to hear the final word regarding the z35 (and even then I'd probably still choose the z34). Anyways, the reason why I'm bringing this up is because I recently heard the Slingshot had to be recalled yet again (if you're not aware, the slingshot has been recalled several times - I never really cared to read about them).

I'm just wondering what you guys think of it. It looks like a blast to drive! I'm not sure of reliability, craftsmanship or warranty. I know the looks are love it or hate it and the reviews seems to say it's either great or pointless. Nothing really in the middle. Obviously it doesn't compare to the Nismo, but as a weekend car...opinions?

BTW any other cars I should be thinking about? Please don't give me the mustang, miata, camaro, etc crap...there's a reason why I like the Nismo lol
I do like the Evora a lot, but again, the bang for buck of the Nismo is too good pass up on and there's no way I'm paying 100k for a weekend car.

Thanks in advance for any input!
