Saturn Sky...
The Saturn Sky came to town today. Free drinks, food, 1/18 diecast. No
roadtests yet. Take a look... http://current.net/james1549/sky.html James |

I cannot wait for it to get here.
Still have yet to see one with a top on it. I hear it was going to be a soft top but I have not been able to back that up with any proof.

Hey, I want a die cast toy! :-)
Can't wait for the SKY to roll into town here. Hmm, Saturn STILL isn't showing what the top up looks like? marx404 |

The factory rep on hand claims there are no plans in the immediate
future for a coupe or removable hard top. He told me the car on display did NOT have a top at all. They wouldn't even open the hood. James |

Wonder if the car on disply's just a dead shell to give people an idea what it looks like? *shrug* One nice thing, I read it's actually a RWD car, so many there's hope at GM afterall? Now all we need is a better looking RWD Impaler, and I might actually go to a GM dealer. The new Charger looks nice but behind every great mopar motor's a mopar transmission, plus it's too big and 4 door. The new rustang looks great but has a pussy motor. 4.6L V8? Hello Ford, this is a musclecar, not a Crown Vic. I hear the interior sucks too... I like the Impaler, but can't bring myself to buy a FWD one. Come on GM, you got an easy sale here - give it RWD and a decent V8, and make it look badass, and I'm in. At least the Sky being RWD shows there's hope, though. too bad the 3800's not offered on it - I'm never buying a 4 cylinder car if I can avoid it... |

Pop the hood of the Rustang, see a packed > cluster f*&^ed engine compartment, walk away... Yeah, that's what scares me. The new Rustang looks great, but the interior I hear sucks and still, a sub 5 liter 8 in a musclecar? Yuk. I don't care that it's the magic 'modular' motor or that it's politically correct. It's a ****ing musclecar. The point is your right foot controls how fast you hit Mach 1 and how much of the world hears you... > The bad thing about the Ecotec is it doesnt get great gas mileage but > its still the best 4 banger out there. But it's still a 4 banger. And no matter how good they get, I always find them lacking... > The 3800's are being dropped by the bean counters for an engineering > nightmare called the 60 degree v6.

Typical GM. What idiot spends 50 grand on Suburban anyway? the only way a Suburban is ever cool is if it's an older one that's jacked up high enough you can drive over a Corvette without damaging it. > With gas prices going only in one direction > and the continued drop in SUV sales WTF ARE THEY THINKING!!! I am > getting so SICK of SUV's! They are so damn worthless... There's an orange Chevy pickup for sale near me that just screams badass. My mind says no ****ing way but it just looks like FUN. And it's high enough that you can just sit under it when you do the oil... SUV sales in general are done. The big fad's faded. People are sick of them. Sedans are the next big thing. >Here is my wish, a all aluminum Series IV 3800 making the following > 220hp NA / 275hp SC / 310hp TC > With Displacement on Demand and only in RWD vehicles.

I wish GM would wake up and get on the RWD bandwagon bigtime, along with shoreing up their V6/V8 offerings. Or, go with the old Nova concept circa 1970 - a nice looking car that you could get just about any powertrain you wanted in it, along with granny car to badass tire smoker tirm options. Didn't they offer like 7 or 8 engines on that thing for a year or two? There's a zillion of 'em still out there because they bsold a zillion of 'em in the first place because you could get the things however the heck you wanted. Come on GM, you've got the best transmissions, the best engines out there. Get the rest of the car up to snuff and you'll get people in the showroom bigtime. Quit it with the silly HHR stuff and blandola FWD grannymobiles already. Let Toyota make the frek cars and grab the granny market. Most people under 30 wouldnt' be caught dead behind the wheel of a Camary as it is. Leverage that to your advantage... |
