2.0L Turbocharged Ecotec (253HP)
REAR WHEEL DRIVE BABY!

This should be interesting...

MuddyREX · 03-23-2005, 10:23 AM

I'd like it a lot more if it wasn't so stinking ugly...

97TSi · 03-23-2005, 10:25 AM

The first time I saw the Sky I thought the same thing. It was hideous. Now, I've kinda come full circle and dig it. Especially for the price. I think I'd rock one

It's based on the same platform as the Pontiac Solstice.

SilverBulletRL · 03-23-2005, 10:45 AM

I think the pontiac is nasty lookin tho...

1988 Olds · 03-23-2005, 11:51 AM

It looks pretty good to me. The power is there, and that's all that matters.

wrx_snobordr · 03-23-2005, 12:38 PM

Ehh, not impressed. It reminds me of a z4 or a miata with a bad body kit. I dont have anything against those cars i just feel like they are chick cars. unless the miata is turboed, thats a diff story, then they are track/highway monsters since they are so light. But I gotta give Saturn/GM credit, they are def stepin up to the plate. Im going to wait and see what the reliability is like on the cars to make a final judgement.

SilverBulletRL · 03-23-2005, 12:47 PM

The Sky's weight actually isn't that bad. 2800lbs or less they're expecting.

Also, the weight distribution is going to be near 50/50 and the rear differential is limited slip. Should be a fun car to drive... I could give a hoot what it looks like

wrx_snobordr · 03-23-2005, 12:54 PM

Thats kind of alot for a two seater. I mean thats almost as much as a wrx and thats a 4 door all-wheel drive car. When i think of small cars i think of the mr2 and its roughly 2k pound body.

SilverBulletRL · 03-23-2005, 01:02 PM

True, one thing I think added the most weight was that they did away with the polymer panels (dent-resistant). They went to metal panels :thumbdow: I like being able to punch my car and have it punch me back

wrx_snobordr · 03-23-2005, 02:04 PM

HA, yeah but i guess they have to have some sort of safety.

kef · 03-23-2005, 03:39 PM

Matt, you're a jerk. I like them. They look like an opel speedster.

Silverfc88 · 03-23-2005, 05:44 PM

First time seeing this and I kinda like it. I just love the fact that there are american companies that are starting to produce these kind of cars.

Now mazda needs to come out with a turbo 8 or bring back the 7 or finally bring the 3 rotor over here to the states.

SilverTurboRidin · 03-23-2005, 06:02 PM

dont like it,
