Saturn has a nice car for once!

That sure doesn't look like a car that was meant to be driven by a mulleteer...

Ok I did some research Jmac, from what I gather the Solstice/Sky are on the Kappa platform, which is going to be the base for the NEW Opel speedster.

I couldn't find anything that said it was just a retool on the old platform though, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Does GM even have any ownership of Lotus?

Yeah, I'm a long time fan of the Esprit.

Those Kappa cars are going to turn into chick cars like the Miata did. Only the Boxter and S2000 have dodged that stigma //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

The new Cayman is gonna pwn //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Of course, that's because it's a Ford product //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

GM doesn't make cars that "drive" well. Ask Tom //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

That's 33% more than GM owns of Lotus //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the only real difference between the pontiac chevy opel saturn (since saturn stoped making cars in its own plants) and just about any of the other GM cars is sheetmetal so if you see two GM cars that look similar odds are there on the same platform... its been this way for years. thank god there finally stepping up the quality though, the new cobalt is head and sholders above the cavalier. and i hear pontiac and buick might die off... IM SO EXCITED

So, you're telling me when I went to go see the saturn plant in TN, I didn't see any saturns being made? I think not...

I have known about the Sky for a while, and I am excited that saturn is moving in a good direction (away from the ION). Hell, it has been on their website for months. I can't say I would want to Sky (for one, I am 6'4" and probably won't fit well). I just wish I could find a car I could fit in well that wasn't a grandpa car....actaully I love the mazda6 and I fits me well, but they are still a little much for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Thank God, I hate Pontiac! Absolutely wouldn't drive one of their cars if it was given to me...
