Pontiac already has 6000 sold pre-orders according to the Pontiac magazine that gets sent to you everyso often when you buy a new pontiac . Theyll be sold out well before the first model year is up if all their making is 20,000 .

 

hell yes!! if/when i am in the market for a DD, this could be it. specially if they make a FRC version.

oh, and sky kills solstice in style.

 

Initial impression from pics of the interior, I think I like the Sky's better than the Solstice.

more sky pics

 

I could easily see a Sky Redline replacing my Camaro in the garage. Especially if it is a 250+ hp turbo. A few tweaks and 300+ hp would easily be obtainable.

Anybody know what they will weigh?

 

Agreed. I think both of these cars will be grand slam homers for GM.

 

I gotta tell you.....the first time I saw a Saturn Sky in the studios.....I stopped dead in my tracks.......completely speechless. (and for those of you who know me, I'm RARELY speechless) The car, in my opinion, is what true artistic automotive design is all about.

Let me also say this (and hopefully I won't get into trouble again about talking about the future......) I've seen the next 5 years. Indeed, Mr. Lutz and Mr. Wellburn have changed a lot of things within GM. They've allowed the talent to do what they do best. Now, some of you will say "well, it's about Friggin time!"......and to you I say.....it took a long time for GM to get into the position it was in......and the Zarella regime did a lot of damage.....it can't be changed over night.....but you will now start to see the fruits of their labor ...the Sky is just the beginning.

That said, I'm not foolish enough to think that the other manufacturers are sitting still.....FAR from it! It's going to be a long uphill battle.....but my confidence level is higher than it's been in a longgggggggggggggg time.

 

I would put this design right up there with the xlr, 60's stingray and maybe even the fastback fiero gt. Too bad the engine bay doesnt match the car's looks. Too beautiful of a car to get door dings-where's the plastic Bob?

 

It's really hot in that blue too. It would have to be, the coupe for me, but I like them both. I can't wait til' we start to see ALL this "new" stuff rolling around out there. I was also amazed, when I saw the Sky on the AW cover. The old midyear Corvette coupe's are one of my favorite body styles, and I could see the coupe versions having that look a little in the back. Really Sweet in the pics, though!

 

Maybe you could have some sort of contest... and the winner gets a 1 day pass to see the "next 5 years"?!?

 

Red, I know you won't answer this but....did a particular Chevy coupe that's on the horizon provoke the same type of reaction from you when you first saw it?

 

Great question, and I'm sure it's killing him not to answer that! I would love to know.

 

I would have to say that the Sky is definatly a great looking car in every way and I was blown away when I saw it at the auto show.

 

I like this idea. i call winner spot!

 

Or Pawtucket Pat.

 

Wow.... i wish i had money....

and Red, thanks for comin by and givin your input from time to time, really puts a face and friendly feel to the "corporate" side
