I know it is a Pontiac,....but take a look at look at the new Solstice, has a crossfire, viper type design,. and starts under 20,000

Isn't there a Saturn version of that as well?

Yep, looks like the Saturn Sky is a clone. Same engine and tranny at least. Couldn't find wheelbase and other dimensions, but it looks REAL similar. Personally I'd opt for the Saturn over the Pontiac.

Here's a link to a pic of one, I feel it's too large to just post.

the soltice is an alright ride. very stylish i think. The other car inquestion is the saturn sky. based on the same platform as the solstice, but more attractive.

Saturn!?!?!?!?!?!? , i have yet to care for one of the "dent-resistant" things,.. but I have not seen the "sky" which you are all talking about.

id imagine it to be a big-engined miata. the sky does look much better over the pontiac, though i did see a solstice in traffic the other day and i think even thats downright sexy

Me and Phil (evlneon) saw it first hand at a hotel in Columbus when I was up there for a Mini Cooper event eariler this year.

I really don't like it myself and the interior has that usual cheap GM quality look.. we did take some pics...

yea, the interior was ass on that thing ^

i'd say if any of you want a new roadster, get a 3rd gen miata. beats the solstice hands down....

oh, and did i mention absolutely NO TRUNK in the solstice?

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 9:57 pm

saw one in traffic today...... definetely looks like ass

My dad is determined to get a Sky, and in the 2007 model year they are supposed to offer a 250hp turbocharged version! lookout MX-5

Frizbe · Post by **Frizbe** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 8:53 am

Yep, the Sky looks 1,000,000X better.
Oh and the turbo version of both has been seen lapping Nur.

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 9:57 am

hmmmm, i like the sky... hate the pontiac

ImportKiller · Post by **ImportKiller** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 3:00 pm

Okay, I do like the sky alot better, especially after Diablo's pics, that interior is awful, styling of it is okay,.. but color and materials look like @$$. The sky is all around gorgous, and the fact that a turbo model will be made makes it look even better,.. but what is the MSRP on the Sky compared to the Soltice?

Frizbe · Post by **Frizbe** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 5:13 pm

I BELEIVE it's soposed to be about teh same (~20k).
