Because I like the Solstice better, *and* the Saturn's MSRP is $1300-1500 higher.

The GXP is a tad to bubbly to me compared to the RedLine but I hear ya on the Saturn MSRP bullshit.

Awesome car though. That new DI turbo motor is a nice piece. I did a quick free way jaunt with a GXP in my Neon and was surprised how quick it was.

Maybe a tad backwards considering the rest of GM's line up but I think the fit and finish of the Sky is a tad nicer since it's sold as an off the shelf Opel GT over seas. The only difference is swapping the Saturn badge for an Opel one. Whatever the reason I'm sure it was a deliberate move by GM. emoji

At the very least, you need to have a domo-kun plush hanging off the rear bumper...

I honestly had a Sky Red Line on my short list, but there is no damn way I could fit in it comfortably. Great little cars otherwise. Congrats on the new ride!

Cool, but for 20k+ they only ran a high 12 seconds. I'm sure you could do it for a lot less and still have plenty left over to add suspension and other upgrades to improve overall performance.

If i remember corectly from when I worked on the Mile of Cars, one of the two center consoles/dash looks VERY similar to ours, that made me like it even more... I think it was the Soltice's.
