Skys now on the road.

[graywolf624]

The saturn sky seems to be popping up at dealers. Saw the first one on the street today.. Thought it was a prototype till I did some research a moment ago.. Interesting to see how it sells.

^^^ Same here, I've seen one more then a month ago. I like the fact that it looks a bit more edgy and aggressive then the solstice, but I feel like the proportion on the car seems a bit to compact do to those huge wheels.

i've already shot at least a dozen different ones... and posted 3-4 of them course; i think i've spotted more V's then anybody else as well

personally, i think the sky looks better today, but the Solstice will keep looking great for decades.... the Sky being aimed more at the younger guys.

There's a Solctice running around town and i think it's the 2nd ugliest thing GM has ever made. 1st ugliest being the Aztek

wow, to each his own, but this car is one of the best things GM has done in years

I really don't see how.

Indeed... The VX220/Opel Speedster is a far better car than this thing, IMHO.



Does anyone know why GM don't sell this in the US?

For those that aren't sure what a Saturn Sky looks like:

the concept was vx 220 based, the production is a shortened corvette chassis with IRS... and is more ridgid from what i recall... but 2700 lbs or so...

The VX looks more like a Lotus and in the Sky, i see alot of 350Z Roadster and a bit of Z3 as well

The Sky looks quite sharp imo, good design. Better then the Solstice, which I have mixed feeling for.

Whilst fit and finish is most likely higher then in the Vauxhall VX220 (Opel Speedster), I doubt it's anyway near the car performance and handling wise (knowing that the VX200 was based off the Elise).

I had a go in an Opel Speedster and found it a nice car. I think the new Sky (also sold as an Opel Roadster in europe) looks cool and follows a similar design style. Although bigger, I really would like to try it out

You have to remember Ive been living under a rock.. I barely ever even see daylight anymore. (Im not kidding.. Im working 50-60 hr weeks and going to school 2 nights a week).
Still glad to see the car made it to production, guess its time for a test drive. They do make it at the plant down the street with the solstice, so I guess I can give it some consideration.

BTW, im pretty sure i saw a turbo sky yesterday

[AlienDB7]

GM should just put the VX Lightning into production and silence the critics
