Saturn Sky

Now that Saturn is going away, I hope that GM saves the SKY. Maybe it can become the Chevy Sting Ray?? Is anyone from GM out there?

Unless they can figure out a way to make money on it (they currently lose money on every one sold)...don't look forward to it.:(

IMO the Sky is better than the Solstice. They should axe the Pontiac and use the Sky.

Well it was only the first 1000 badged and you waited a year to get it cause all the 2006 models were manuals

They can't save it the factory is closed and the lights are off.

One of these was behind me a couple of days ago. But it just looks way too weird. The color was beautiful though.

I seen it in person at the Philly Auto Show and fell in love with it.

Reminds me of the old Shelby Daytona Coupe
