Would you mind sharing? And will GMS be available? Should I go this route, it'll be a tossup between the Sky and Solstice. I like my Pontiac dealership and I know everyone there, so going with a Sky would mean meeting a whole new group of folks. I like the Sky's edgy, quasi-Corvette styling a lot, but the Solstice wouldn't be bad at all.dealernut said:Should know for sure next week as the ordering books come out.
You make a good point. For a brief spell I owned a '91 Beretta GTZ with the buzzy, 180-bhp Quad Four in it. To get that sucker to move with anywhere near the alacrity of my previous car (an '86 Vette), I had to wind the bejeebers out of it . . . thereby ruining whatever economy it may have offered.Groucho said:Yeah- pretty car....but I'll bet your average mpg isn't going to vary significantly between your Holden and the Sky Redline...it may even be worse.
Break it down. It's actually kind of amazing.

So . . . you don't like the Saturn badge either?Groucho said:I'd rebadge it as an Opel GT.
Meh. It's not as repulsive as the hideous red wedgie, but no. And the Opel GT is the exact same car.GM Kid said:So . . . you don't like the Saturn badge either?
:agree But Saturn needed a boost from the door wedges they were selling for years. When I first saw the car, I kept thinking "pretty as hell, but it's a Saturn." Now that I see what GM used to be, a powerhouse, to what the are now, struggling, I feel that whatever they can do to improve their position should be applauded. Besides, I saw what Lingenfelter I beleive did with a Soltice. Dropped a 'Vette engine in one and damn near outperformed the 'Vette! Badge it American. Maybe it'll save a few jobs.Groucho said:Meh.

The Red Wedgie is just embarrassing. Saturn is just boring.
Nice looking little car, though. Way prettier than the Solstice.
yeah i saw the Lingenfelter Soltice, it was, actually still is at the NY auto show. Pitty it was just sitting there, would of like them to turn it on but it looked sick though.criminally_sane said::agree But Saturn needed a boost from the door wedges they were selling for years.
