Saw a Sky

[Adam]

Last night and that thing looks pretty good. The backend looks like an Aston Martin or something much more expensive. I had to do a double take as I passed him because I haven't seen one yet.

The new Car and Driver compares the Solstice (Pontiac version of the Sky) to a 2.7 Boxster and it actually looks pretty good, taking into consideration that it's $20K cheaper. Apparently the top is a pain in the butt to put up, and they need to do something with that front grill. It has a 260 HP motor - which forces me to think I may need an S version of my boxster.

Cannot believe I'm saying something good about Saturn. But.

The Sky looks better than Solstice to me. And the Redline version is pretty darn competent.

Only having one tiny, almost useless, trunk is not good for more than day trips. I've put $300 worth of groceries in the Box without putting anything in the passenger area. That extra money goes for something!!!!

I don't know about the Sky, but the GXP Solstice has a drag cd of .45. That thing is as areodynamic as a barn door. Even with 260 hp the thing tops out at 139 mph. That is just terrible. The boxster has around a .30 cd.
