Probably next year. The 06' VUE and ION still have polymer panels.

I saw the same show the other day. It was a mid engine version with the 2.0 turbo'd engine that the redline sky is rumored to have for 07' but in the front :-/ The handling looked fanstastic on his test drives and the driver for the time trial beat the crap out of the thing in the corners and it still held strong.

Give me the sky exterior and interior. The Solstice is to retro looking for me...and it's not that I'm biased or anything lol.

BTW, found out there will be food and drinks (non alchoholic) from 4pm-7pm.

I wish saturn would still use plastic. Oh well, now the older ones are going to be rare I guess.

For the people on the other side of the bay, it'll be at Clearwater and Port Richey I believe. I'm sure saturnguy (AKA Scooter) will chime in here sooner or later with dates and times.

ehh I dont know. but I am getting tired of this saturn vs everything else gimmick. like the Ion and Colbalt. ion was first, so was the Redline. Magazines will write a super duper crappy review on the redline and a great on the the cobalt SS. BS to me. Ion looks hella more curvy and sleeker then the cobalt.

the solstice and sky are getting released at the same time, but the sky is going to be cheaper by I think 1k or 2k$ then the solstice and will have everything the same.

Solstice should be coming out very soon while the Sky won't start production until Jan. at the earliest leaving a March/April delivery. The Solstice will be at a lower price point (low $20's) while the Sky will start at $25k. You were close though

5K more for the saturn? i thought saturn was the lower priced area of GM. kinda doesnt make sense to me. 5K higher on a 20K car? simple math says thats 25% higher price. weird.

GM/Saturn is playing around with their pricing structure and their total value promise deal. I'm not in sales so I may be a little off in what I'm saying but from what I've heard and seen, pricing on 06 MY cars are less than their 05 counterparts. However, long term pricing for saturn will start to move up once the SKY, Aura, and new VUE come out. There are some BIGGGGG changes coming Saturn's way in the next couple years that will redefine the company within GM as well as within the market.

It won't be you're traditional company in one sense but the commitment to no haggle pricing and "people first" will still remain.
