I saw a red Saturn Sky on Philmont Avenue at 2:15. IT WAS HOTTT! I definatly want one now that I have seen it on the road. I just want to know how this guy got one before they are even out?

Those cars are sexy as hell. Definately better looking than the pontiac. I hope Saturn comes out wiht the redline version

I thought the sky's were supposed to have the same motor as a neon srt-4, but rwd? What did they end up putting in them?

I do like the style, even though I'm not a fan of saturns as sporty cars.

Dealership workers get to drive them around as advertising.

They will, in time.

The Mallett version will be faster either way though.

400hp LS2, base. For extra you can get the 500hp LS2, a 600hp supercharged LS2, or can even start going into 402 strokers and 427 engines.

Why would they have the same engine as an SRT-4? That's MOPAR, this is GM.

They come stock with a 190hp (or something on that weak scale) 2.4L I4. The Redline verison is supposedly a 2.0l turbo 4 that is only pushing like 240hp.

Weaksauce....that other version sounds nasty though damn!

Sorry for the off topic questions, back on topic now!

Not really, for the base, it's $20,000 + the cost of the car. The Sky is 24k-ish. Price goes up a LOT from there.

Vypurr · 02-11-2006, 06:36 PM

Yes...so 20,000 + 24,000 would be $44,000 right? lol Am I missing something?

Twin_Cam · 02-11-2006, 10:00 PM

I want to test-drive one so badly. But alas, not old enough. Perhaps if I were to bring a parent along....

Vypurr · 02-12-2006, 01:13 AM

Can't get it sideways with a parent tho!

BlackBulletTSi · 02-12-2006, 02:46 PM

I will definatly be at the dealership taking one for a test drive

05Accent · 02-12-2006, 02:52 PM

yea they do look sweet!!!

WRXD · 02-14-2006, 11:15 PM

An ad in people magazine quotes them at only having 177 horsepower.

(can anyone tell me how to upload pics that arent thumbnailed?)

Vypurr · 02-14-2006, 11:31 PM

Thats the base model (non-turbo).

But remember its still RWD and pretty light looking.

SilverBulletRL · 02-15-2006, 01:17 AM

Red Line verison will come equiped with a 2.0L Turbocharged Ecotec producing 260hp / 260tq

HatchSurfer3 · 02-15-2006, 11:33 AM

I think i might have to get my hands on one of these when i get out of school

S4toSTI · 02-15-2006, 11:51 AM

I thought the saturns were front and the pontiac version was going to be rear.
