Default Saturn Sky



:bowdown: I have been spying that thing for a while. It is supposedly available late 2006. I will have to take one for a spin.

They look pretty cool.

But I don't care who you are, when you say you drive a Saturn people will chuckle. h:

It looks pretty badass. I haven't read any of it's performance specs, but I'm sure it'll do ok.


Although... I do think Saturn should have come up with a performance type emblem for it.
Instead of using the same one that's on all the other cars they should have something more exclusive.

'bout damn time. their extremely mediocre line of cars is phasing them into the background and out of public mind.

Taken from AutoWeek :

From the people who brought us the Pontiac Solstice, which goes on sale this fall, comes the Saturn Sky-a slightly upscale version built on the same front-engine, rear-drive layout. Saturn's roadster gets its inspiration from the Vauxhall VX Lightning Concept, the car GM built for the 100th anniversary of its British subsidiary in 2003. Underneath, Sky is the same as the Solstice, with a 2.4-liter 170-hp inline four providing the power, linked to either a five-speed manual or optional automatic. Sky goes on sale early next year, starting at less than $25,000.

Sky looks much better than the Solstice IMO. Sure they may have the same basic structure to it being they are both two seater roadsters, but the Sky is much more appealing.
