Saturn Sky spotted!
I think it's kind of cool.

Other changes versus the Pontiac include more standard equipment, such as OnStar, power windows and air conditioning (although you can option out a Solstice with all of the Sky's equipment) and a more elegant interior with piano black inserts and LED backlighting. The Sky will have the same suspension tuning and standard 170-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec four as the Solstice, with probably a supercharged 2.2-liter four available sometime after launch. GM hopes enough buyers will discriminate between the two roadsters enough to help elevate Saturn upmarket, as a more prestigious, sophisticated brand than Pontiac.

My problem with Saturn is they don't really "have anything". They're marketing team must have a tough job to do since they don't have much to work with.
Example:
- Toyota has reliability
- Mazda has "zoom zoom"
- Dodge has the Hemi
...
- Saturn has good customer service? Isn't that what they always talk about? Who the fvck cares? I want to buy a car because something is good about THE CAR not THE DEALERSHIP.

I like it too. The first thing I noticed that I didn't like was, it looks to me at least from the second picture that the hood line wraps around down the side just above the front wheel well. You can see the black line along the front fender. Why would they do that?
