Default what do you guys think of the Sky and Solstice?

im surprised to see something like this coming from saturn/pontiac

with an msrp of under $29,000 for the Sky and $27,000 for the Solstice, do you think it will affect s2k's sales?

Anytime something similar is offered it is going to effect sales somewhat.

It's still a little slower, smaller, poor fit quality, MPG is lower and if I'm not mistaken you have to put the top up by hand. :thumbdown:

Local Saturn dealer had both so I had an opportunity to compare appearance side by side. I thought the scrotum look of the Solstice front end was better than the oversized silly grin of the Sky.

I was the opposite the front of the solstice reminds my of the new ford thunderbird which reminds me of a giant tampon. The saturn looks better to me but either way you cut it for that price and even with all the kinks and problems def a good bang for your buck deal for a fun car. Later.

Solstice looks like sh-t.

Sky is bearable, but no matter how you cut it its still a Saturn. I'll pass.
