dammit....

Honda > Saturn

Not by much though.

I like it. Agreement on the turbo version, and it did remind me of the Opel Speedster. they claim it's pretty much 50 50 weight distribution, and I'm guessing it won't be anything cheap on it's body. It still should price well hopefully, their new slogan hints at it.

:?:
point to quoting that?

- .RJ - 09-12-2005

Dont :?: me Wink

I posted what the price has been quoted at since the project's inception, and there hasnt been anything yet to say otherwise....

- Evan - 09-12-2005

The Solstice is definitely cool looking, but I am feeling the Sky more.

base MSRP of a Solstice is 19,995...which is below 20K.

Admittedly, not by much. But, you'll notice that the SRT-4 isn't "below 20K" anymore, and even though it has more horsepower, I'd rather have a Sky.

- JackoliciousLegs - 09-12-2005

man.. that's a saturn i might consider... hmmmm....

- Mike - 09-12-2005

i've heard quotes of 25k for the sky... they are about as well-backed as rj's 20k figure, though.

- Kaan - 09-12-2005

they said in car and driver that the GM crapper would be about 20-25k... and was killed in every area by the new miata ... well in all areas but the price.

true, but if it's supercharged like they are predicting, and if it responds as well as other SC'ed GM applications, then a pulley upgrade and a few supporting mods would probably be an easy 40+ horsepower. not to mention that this car will probably be more usable than a miata in terms of space

no doubt, but it is far hotter looking and way less fag.

- Kaan - 09-12-2005

the tested production models of both... toe to toe...

sure its less "faggy"... but it just out performs that pontiac crap...

- Feersty - 09-12-2005

Hopefully this Saturn Sky will not fail as much as the SC'ed Ion Redline.

- REED - 09-12-2005

according to the new car mags, for the solstice and im assuming the Sky as well, the "high performance" version should have around 250hp, which sounds beast. As RJ said the miata trumps it in everything but price, and it seems like its 2 grand well worth it. Id like to see what the new "hot rod" version from the us has versus mazdaspeeds offerings in a year or two

didn't Mazda come out with a new Miata, why not use that, instead of waiting a year or two

Because its better to compare apples to apples.....

The Kappa platform is designed to accomodate an engine as large as a V8.

Although we're more likely to see a Supercharged/Turbocharged solstice, let's not rule out one of the small displacement (Probably high value) V8's in a Solstice/Sky/Other Kappa Platform Car.
