I'm glad they're not making it. The stylists must have been on a bad acid trip when they designed it!

I'm sad, that was the most beautiful car since the AMC Matador.

How do you feel about Saturn's Curve announcement?

How do you feel about Saturn's retraction on Curve's production?

I actually liked the Curve but I would prefer a sub-$20,000 Solstice coupe with at least 220HP.

I'm indifferent. I thought the design was kinda nice, save the really awkward grill area.

I'm a wash on the car. Though I like the look, it just doesn't seem to fit Saturn's lineup IMO.

I'd really like to know what the goings-on behind the scenes were to cause these announcements to happen as they did.
It's rare in todays world to have such publicized announcements get out only to be ratracted a few days later... odd.

I like the car as a whole and I thought the profile was great and the back was kinda clever in the styling but that grill has got to go. It seems from the statement that GM will build a Kappa Saturn, just not exactly like the Curve so they might use some of the styling elements while changing the configuration or something such as that.

I liked the car. But to be honest I just liked the look, and the fact is was a coupe with a decent price tag. If another division got a coupe on the Kappa platform, with decent performance (not talking LS1 numbers, but maybe better than 3.8 Camaro numbers) at a price around 20k, that would be nice.

I think it's a good idea not to make it. WIth the Solstice, IOn Redline and Supercharged SS Cobalt, I don't think GM needs another small sportster.

IMO I wouldn't be too sad to see Saturn as a whoe go the way of Olds.

THe car looked very cool in person, it just doesn't look like a Saturn. It would have made a good Buick or Chrysler.
