I've read about the black box stuff too, scary stuff. One instance, a guy was going well over 100 in a Corvette and caused an accident. The black box data logging info convicted him, not that he didn't deserve it. The early ones recorded constant data acquisition in a continuous loop, not sure how long the intervals are, but upon airbag deployment the loop is saved for recovery later.
Solstice is a nice car for GM, I really can't believe it made it to production. I think by next year there's supposed to be a 250Hp version out, that should help. I thought the Saturn version was based on the Opel speedster, a car that has drawn comparisons to the Elise overseas, it's much more of a proper lightweight sports car. You can see a resemblence, but why waste it on Saturn? With a car like the Speedster in it's company, GM needs to release it in some form here.
