The sky is so much like a little mini-Corvette, it's so sweet looking. It's a shame Pontiac got the *** end of the design stick on this platform...

Great looking cars. The Sky is a real gem and looks great in that color.

I'd like to see the interior pics of the Aura. I like the output of the 3.5 but I wish the 3.6 had power closer to 270 but at least they did use the 3.6 and not the 3.9.

I love the Sky.. Simply bad ***.

The Aura's exterior styling got dulled down from the concept, but looks good. The interior is pretty decent, but look at the plastic wood grain trim where it meets the doors, and flows back. It it off big time. I hope they paid attention to detail when designing this car.

Wow... they all look great. This should turn Saturn around fast. They remind me now of an American Honda....but with cooler better looking cars.

Notice they rate the DOHC 3.6L at 252HP

I suspected that the mismatch was a result of the angle of the photo, and my buddy confirmed it (before I even asked him to). He read this thread, and replied with this:
I noticed the trim mismatch right away so I had to go out in the garage and check one out. It's an optical illusion. It actually matches up just fine, but the way it is contoured makes it look funny in 2D...
I think it is because the trim curves down and then kind of goes straight a head to match with the dash. If you were sitting in the seat, it would look normal, but because of the location of the camera and the angle of the shot, it looks funny. Perhaps they should choose a better head on pic for publicity shots.

They also use one of those "fish eye" lenses to take those shots. It is a 180 degree + view.

because the Sky comes with $4K worth of Solstice options. You can't get a stripped Sky.

Because GM in their wisdom is placing Saturn above Pontiac in it's lineup

Chevy
Pontiac
Saturn
Buick
Cadillac


Saturn is the new Oldsmobile.
