thats how roadsters back is supposed to look, check out ferrari roadsters. Itd be sick if they do put a detuned LS2 in this thing. It might fit considering its a pushrod and roughly the same size as a VQ35. SkY is bigger than I thought its going to be.

The pontiac solstice is advertised as a 2006 on the pontiac website, and the solstice forums are talking about it coming out the first week of august. Why wait for the saturn...

I think just the oposite. The solstice is just about the ugliest car I have ever seen. However I kind of like the looks of the Saturn Sky. The question however, is how well will it hold up? My wife's last Saturn blew the tranny after only 30,000 then the engine followed 5,000 later. That was under very little abuse to.

yeah, that's the other thing. it's a saturn. hey, ya never know...it may be a great car but saturn doesn't necessarily have the rep. all of my friends that had em reported that they were all a POS.
as far as the visuals, we all have different tastes. however we all seem to like rx-8s...

" Alex Trebec thinks: What is..., crap?" (taken from the other forum)
the Solstice is far worse in looks...the front in person...is just aweful, what were they thinking!

I like the looks of the car. I just can't see these things holding up. I haven't seen a whole lot of Saturns that look or sound too good after a few years on the road. Is it the owners fault? Maybe. Is it the build quality? Maybe. I've probably become a bit biased towards domestics as I have always had problems with them. The imports I've owned seem to be much better built vehicles. I guess time will tell with the Sky/Solstice.
