Default 2007 Saturn Sky

What do you guys think? It looks like the outside is pretty hot, and the interior is probably competitive for its price. Wonder what powerplants will be available?

I like it. I don't think they have any plans for a high h.p. motor yet. It would be nice to see the cobalt SS motor as an option.

I like the looks of it.
It reminds me of the Opel Speedster (Opels are only available in Europe/asia for those who dont know) And i was fortunate to see one drive by me while i was in Portugal this past summer.
However, it will probably have the reliability of a typical GM

Yes, that car does look Hot (in pics anyway)
I sure hope this car will be at this years NYC auto show. I will be there in April!
But as everything else that is a "concept", it may not look the same as the production finalized model. I guess it remains to be seen in person.

I would like to see pics of it with the top up for the full picture. All of the photos that I've seen so far are with the top down. Does it even come with a top? LOL

Is it front wheel drive? Maybe engine swaps will be easy?
