You know the Saturn Sky will eventually get the same variant. I don't know about you guys...but I think this car is NICE. If I had money to toss...I'd get one.

The sky looks better but 2700 pounds and 400hp is the true recipe for a real performance car. I like it, a lot.

Well this is not from the factory, just an aftermarket tuned car.

Rumor that the 4cyl will be turbocharged by GM come next year.

Those are amazing, the styling makes me consider a domestic again on the new car market. We'll see how the motor and suspension holds up I guess.
