Saturn Sky

[drburton]

I walked over to the Saturn dealer from work today and took a look at the Sky. It's a really nice looking car in person. They did a great job on the exterior design. I'm sure it isn't the best car when it comes to driving dynamics, but for the price seems like a nice roadster for alot of people.

I'm not implying I would in any way prefer this over my Boxster, but check it out. It's nice.

I'd really like to test drive the forthcoming Redline version (250hp). I tried to get my wife to buy one but she wasn't interested in anything without a back seat.... Damn!

I think I'd take a Sky over a Solstice. Then I would debadge that thing every which way I could.

They are pretty decent looking cars at present. But I predict it won't be long until they are like Miatas and Corvettes... abundant as can be -wearing out their welcome on my retinas.

X2 MUCh better looking then the Solstice. I bet the redline will be a blast to drive also.

I followed a Crossfire to the bank this morning for a good five minutes or so on the freeway.

The style is growing on me and if they can evolve that car into a real sports car with better handling and a larger engine, it's gonna sell very well I think.

I need to go see a Sky though. I've only seen it in paper ads and billboards.

The only problem I have with the Crossfire is the interior. I cannot state strong enough how disappointed I was when I looked inside. Parts of the interior look like my wife's old Grand-Am. The drive tunnel is made of some extremely cheap, hard, pebbly, poor fitting plastic. The 2001 VW Cabrio we ended up buying (for 1/10 the cost) had an interior 10x nicer from an appearance, fit, and feel standpoint. The Crossfire is a car I wouldn't mind being seen in - but not sure I'd actually want to be in it.

It really looks like a dog hunched over taking a dump! I think it will be as successful as the Cadillac Allante.
