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.

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

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.

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

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

Id like to see what the new "hot rod" version from the us has versus mazdaspeeds offerings in a year or two 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.
