If not http://www.saturn.com/saturn/vehicle...cles/index.jsp

260lbs of torque and 260 horsepower in that little car? I bet its fun to drive, and whole new car compared to the n/a version!

I think it's just as good looking as the Cadillac XRL and half the price.

I definitely like the styling of it but from Saturn...wow Nice car at a great price, and you don't have to worry about dents! I just don't think it looks right without dual exhaust. I am a big fan of everything being symmetrical.

Trying to convince my dad to trade in the Sebring for one of these

I still can't decide if I like the Solstice or Sky better...

I think it looks alright... it'll do for now. Just have to block out saturn's history and the logo wont seem as bad..


and yes, this car is simply badass. I cant believe the tricks Saturn has just recently pulled out of its ass.

Non-turbo Sky's MSRP range is around low to mid $20K, I'd imagine the turbo version starting in the mid to upper $20K range. But of course probably dealers are going to mark them up around $35K.

Talked to the dealer the other day. The guy wanted $26k for the Sky. The guy said that all their Sky were come fully loaded. If I wanted the stock, I needed to go across the street to the Pontiac dealer for the Solistic. So, I did. The guy over Pontiac wanted $20k.

Let me just get this straight, so the turbo version of the Sky is called...Sky Red Line, and the base is just the Saturn Sky correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, Red Line is Saturn's performance division, such as the Ion Red Line and the Vue Red Line

Why do you not have to worry about dents? You might wanna fact check before you answer.

yeah the $20k solstice is bone stock, no power windows or locks, no leather, no A/C, no ABS, basically no anything...

when he says the Sky is fully loaded that is how they come standard from factory, there are no extra options, The sky comes with everything whereas the solstice you have to add everything (including, AC, power windows/locks, leather, ABS etc.)

The sky is def better IMHO. i dont like the hood of the solstice, or the grille, so i guess i dont like the fron at all
for a two seat convertible it doesnt look very sporty it needs more aggressive lines.

If I were in the market for a new 2 seater converable, the Sturn Sky Red Line w/o a doubt be it. Still can't believe Saturn was able to produce something like this.


Quick Reply: Have we already talked about the Saturn Sky Red Line?
