this was at one of the dealerships I service on my route, I know someone on here was asking about the sky, i have to say it looks pretty nice in person

it's a little dirty, the GM has been driving it as a demo

 

[holeydonut]

Heh, anyone wanting a Crossfire for dirt cheap better go runnin' to their local chrysler dealership.... all hope is lost for the Crossfire now

 

[ib2loud]

this thing is 10x nicer than a crossfire, at least to me.

 

[Xtreme Thunder]

Not a bad looking vehicle

gm had the right idea rebadging an opel and bringin it here.

More like Bob Lutz had the right idea. The GM-committee-peeps have their heads in the dirt. If they would just let Lutz do his thing instead of fighting him at every turn then they might amount to something more than mediocrity (I say that as I loath the HHR ).

 

[katiescaliber]

Ohh, is it finally out now? My husband and I saw it a few years ago as a concept car at the Detroit Auto Show and were so surprised to see a Saturn like this! Its very cool!

 

[Silverfox]

Hey, it's Saturn's answer to the S2000.

 

[superbang]

isn't this thing just a clone of the pontiac solstice?

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Exactly! Same platform, different body. Kinda like the LX (Charger, 300, Magnum)



I gotta say, it looks nice. I saw the back of one in the Lifetime Fitness parking lot. Not bad.

 

[GOT]

isn't this thing just a clone of the pontiac solstice?

Yes... like sister cars. There was at one time going to be a Chevy version of the Kappa platform too; the Nomad. But they whimped out and canceled it. GM desperately needs to put an end to their committee-everything crap. Their cars are lackluster and their fleet gestalt is awful.

 

[ib2loud]

I think the sky is a lot nicer looking than the solstice though

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Yeah, I second that.

The Crossfire is a hell of a lot better looking in my opinion though..

 

[ib2loud]

the crossfire is a lot more uncomfortable than the sky, i've sat in both and the saturn has a lot more room

 

[holeydonut]

I wonder if you can get an SRT6 Crossfire for the low 30K's now

 

[Germaneon]

This is what we´ll get over here in Europe (it´s labeled as Opel GT):

 

[Darnice]

Looks way better than the Solstice (which resembles a fly from the front and needs swatting) but its more of a Miata than an s2000.
Hope it handles better than the solstice, they lumber around to say the least.

 

[caliber4whoosh]

I haven't sat in the Sky but I have sat in the Crossfire and considering that I am 6'1" and 240, I fit and could move around iwth no problem. I would imagine that the Sky would be a little more roomy because of the convertible top and due to the fact that the Crossfire has a smaller cockpit but I still stand by my opinion.

 

[ib2loud]

yeah 6'4" 210 here, and when I shoot crossfires at work it's one of my least favorite, right next to a miata

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Yeah, Miata's are small as hell...
