very

 

very nice from gm, im impressed with how good it looks!

 

the front is nice, but i don't like the back

 

damn..... back reminds me of an SLR....... damn.

front looks like a mini-Viper/C6.......

speaking of which I just noticed tonight that there is a black SLR in that Bentley showroom downtown....... as I walked by I was just like ........... amazing.

 

Wow. A saturn I actually like. Amazing.

 

This car is sister to the Vauxhall VX 220, which isnt a bad car IMHO. All this coz GMC now owns vauxhall



It also borrows designing cues from the vauxhall concept VX Ligtning.

 

A good debadge candidate.

 

This'll drive people to the deserted Saturn showrooms... quick!

 

The first Saturn I ever liked

 

 

That is actually a very cool looking car!!

 

 

wow......I never realized that......... that is amazing. That Vauxhall is already like a classic in Europe.... congrats to Saturn - I think they are gonna hit a home run with this car.

 

I can't wait for the Turbo version. Awesome car.

 

Funny how the word "SATURN" was not placed anywhere on the car. Just the logo in front and back and the word "SKY".

 

ala the Hyundai tiburon ...

 

The guy driving it looks like a tool........that being said,


Now just drop the LS2 in it

 

This car will get people to think of Saturn again. IMO it will sell very well for a roadster, but it's not going to make them much money because comparitively, sales volume will be low, just BECAUSE it's a roadster. When the Aura comes out it might attract more buyers to Saturn.

 

Sweet ride. GM is heating up the two-seat sub-con convertible arena!

 

I wouldnt buy it. It looks nice tho.

i thought GM owned vauxhall since 1925

 

i wish it wasnt a saturn so i could buy one. what a waste of a good design.

its like having a beautiful mansion with no running water, power, or heat.

 

Not bad. I would only get the turbo version or the rare LS2 version, though.

 

whats the pricing going to be like?

 

23-24k starting...

 

For a price, you can get one like that...

i love it...

 

I love it!! Bob Lutz sure does help turning GM around.

 

the back kinda reminds me of that... BMW Z8

 

The parking lines/sign on the ground say otherwise, but holy shit does that look like a toy car. That fake depth of field blur really kills the pic.

 

Supercharged version coming out next year... That would be a fun car.

I like it better than the Solstice. I still wouldn't buy one, though. I would much rather spend more money and get an S2000.

 

Actually, while the Sky is based off the the Lightning Concept car, the car is not related to the Vauxhall at all. The VX 220 was based off the same chassis as the Lotus Elise, while the Sky is based off of a brand new chassis that will be shared with the Pontiac Solstice.

Personally, I'd rather take the Vauxhall, its sub 2200 lbs curb weight, and more hardcore personality, but that isnt what GM wants to sell here anyway.

The problem with the Sky and the Solstice is too much weight and not enough power. I like the cars esp. the way the Sky looks but if they weigh in at 2800+ lbs and the supercharged version has 220-240hp, why wouldnt I get a S2000?

If they happened to weigh under 2500 lbs and have a 220-240hp version, then we'd be talking or if it weighs 2800+ lbs, I'd like to see at least 270hp. I dont think either is going to happen.

One question: How exactly is the Sky going to be more upmarket than the Solstice other than having more standard equiptment?

 

The more powerful Solstice / Sky will have a Turbo version of the Ecotech instead of SC'ed like in the Cobalt SS. The thread below has spy pictures of the engine. I'm actually glad it will be Turbo vs SC'ed.

Sweet! I like it better than the Solstice.

 

That car is awesome, i will be checking it out as an option for my girl. If she likes it, i will wait a litttle and see if they drop a forced induction version. If they do i will jump on that one. The new Miata has so much competition this time around.
