hmm, looks nice. Probably gunna be waaaayyy underpowerd and FWD tho. lol, like the pontiac solstice :roll:

[T-Bird]

C&D said it will be FWD so I can confirm that one about 90%
not sure about the power.

[SilviaEvo]

the outside looks like the new opel and the dash looks like an RX8

[tekwar]

issit just me or does that not only look similar to the opel gt but exactly the same.... :P

if its FWD, then it's a waste of a car.

[T-Bird]

It's because it is the exact same car since they are both GM cars.

http://www.maximum-cars.com/Cars/Saturn/2006-Sky/7.jpgopel is sold in europe, not in America. which is why it is sold as a saturn
edit: and it won't be FWD

[godspeed06]

rumor is it will at some point have a turbo or supercharged eco tec putting out 240. GM wants saturn to have "flagship" roadster, meaning it needs to be faster than the solstice, and of course a little more expensive but not much. FWD makes it worthless though. that really sucks. it could have been a fun little roadster.

[number77]

don't you people listen, it won't be FWD!

[godspeed06]

nm, i thought it would be RWD, but it seemed like everyone here said it would be FWD, so i didnt bother to argue.

[findleybeast]

oh god it better not be FWD, else I'd burn down the Saturn dealership (what else do they have in there that's worth anything?)
Interesting choice to sell the Opel GT under the Saturn badge. Perhaps this will elevate their image
The car looks to be pretty sweet too. Nice and mean looking

[Z28]

I agree with findleybeast, Saturn doesn't have anything good to offer except the Sky. However you can buy a Vue with the Honda Pilot drivetrain, but the Vue is too ugly. GM should have offered the reliable Jap drivetrain in the Equinox instead, WTF were they thinking! As far as the Sky is concerned perhaps we are being setup for a disappointment. Don't get me wrong the rwd roadster looks awesome, but for $20,000 we probably shouldn't expect too much as the car will probably be underpowered.

[findleybeast]

well if it's good enough to be released as an Opel as well, then I don't think it could be too bad. I wonder which company it was originally designed by? Or if it was a joint venture?

[Refefer]

I'd give it to Opel to have designed it... I mean Saturn designing a sports car? It'd look like all their other sedans and have 120 bhp to the front wheels...

[numerouno]

Actually the Opel itself's based on Lotus Elise

[RC45]

Still trying to think just what the hell about this piece of under powered crap is muscular... :)

How about we keep this forum for cars that can actually get out of their own way.. :)

[findleybeast]

This one is? I thought it was the Opel Speedster that was - which is also called the Vauxhall VX.

As for it being underpowered... does anyone know the actual stats on it? If it is anything like the other Saturns it'll be horribly underpowered like Refefer said, but since Opel is involved it might have a chance of being good...

[FordGTGuy]

i just saw that they are making a caddilac variant to.

[RC45]

Locked.. because this discussion belongs in car chat...

No more topics about under powered pieces of junk please.. :) ;)
