At NAIAS 2004, though, the Saturn coupe concept didn't get nearly as much attention as the Chevy Nomad shooting brake and the Pontiac Solistice next to it. Here's my pic from this year's show: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2132269877&- ;idx=10 The Solistice is a little cleaner, simpler. The Sky gets a lot of Opel cues, and matches the Aura nicely, though. -juice |

I'm looking forward to the new Sky and Aura.

"My original hope had been that the Saturn Kappa car would be a coupe. More a cousin than a sibling to the Solstice, if you will." Me too. From what I have read, the Sky will start around $23K and will come fairly well-equipped in base trim. OTOH, the Solstice will come in very basic base form, but will be optionable to the same equipment level and spec as the Sky, in fact they have even said it is likely that the pair will have identical suspension settings. Which kinda makes this like the Vibe/Matrix project: a rebadging with some minor cosmetic changes, and a more basic version available at the Toyota dealer than is available at Pontiac. As for me, I like wind-up windows but prefer the looks of the Sky, which will have power accessories standard. All of which misses the point, that I do not like roadsters very much but would LOVE to see a coupe version of the Sky/Solstice. Would that the coupe were not limited to Opel in Europe and Saab over here. Sky is a good name for it, btw. The car allows you to see the sky, and the name sounds simple, airy, fun. Saturn and Pontiac are the right companies to have these cars too. I really really hope no other GM division is given a rebadged version of this car. For all that the Aura's looks are new, for instance, there is virtually nothing (except the expected optional 3.6 OHC engine from the top of the line LaCrosse) to make it stand apart from the Malibu and G6, even as it further deluxifies the 9-3. |

I heard $25k, actually. And Saturn sells at list price. -juice |

| Read some articles abt SKY in some of the car mags. The SKY looks cool, better than the Pontiac. Sort of like a mini Corvette Conv. Will be interesting to see how much of it survives all the way to production, including its catchy name. | |

This car would DOMINATE! MUCH sexier than Solstice. What mag has a preview? Here in Florida the mags come 2 weeks later. DrFill |

Check out the new euro Zafira, it would look good next to the Sky in showrooms. -juice |

What kind of top will it have? Removeable hard?.. I love the Sky/Solstice by the way... I would own one in a second. Thanks.
