Car and Driver does a quick A:B comparison in their October issue – click here to read their surprising conclusion…

UPDATE:

C&D has since flip-flopped, which should be a lesson to anyone who bought the car based on a ‘ranking’ rather than the subjective impressions that make up the driving and ownership experience.

They explain thusly:

Last October, we compared the all-new Mazda MX-5 and Pontiac Solstice—for about eight hours. That wasn’t enough time to settle the dispute. We were still messing around with the Solstice’s knurled seatback control when a Pontiac emissary arrived, demanding the return of his keys. And, in any event, finding suitably twisty roads in Michigan’s farmland is [near impossible]. So we don’t apologize for this MX-5/Solstice redux.
