Wow didn't know that forced induction was going to be an option, that excellent. First saturn I would really be interested in. Not to mention it looks really good.

Curb weight on the miata even the new 06 is down in the 2200-2300 range but then again if you are over 5'10" good luck fitting in one......hopefully the Sky will offer more leg room.....I can't even get one leg into a Miata

Sorry, no dent resistant doors on this model, the Aura, and pretty much all Saturn's after 06'.

One thing that has gotten my attention is this:

Gawd damn would that be one hell of a car.

I'm going to wait and see what the redline version of the Sky will end up having. It'll be some sort of f/i and hopefully turbo charged but knowing GM it'll probably be supercharged. At any rate, I'm going to love things at work when this bad boy comes out. Accessory sales will be SKY high (pardon the pun) and I should have my demo allowance kicking as well

What do I think? I think lately there have been reposted threads of people's opinions on certain cars

I think it looks cool and although supposedly will have a bit less power than its Pontiac counterpart, it looks better, overall quite sleek and clean, and may not be such a bad car.

I see C6 like CRAZY from the side though... I mean really, look at the side shot for however long you want, all I see is shortened Corvette. Not saying thats bad though.

it's looks pretty good.

my g/f has the Vue with the 3.5L honda engine and their 5spd auto tranny. Car pulls REALLY good for what it is and has not had a single problem other than a small rattle. I think saturn is finally getting better...as long as you do not buy the CHEAPO models with the smallest motors and crappy trannies.
