Well I'm really glad I got VIN 3706 in July of 06. I have 14,000 miles on her and plan on keeping her forever. It's a shame because it's a great little roadster. I still get compliments all the time and it's really fun to drive.

Figures. A beautiful car like the Sky and they discontinue it. POS econoboxes here we come. 1200MPG, 1 seat, and 0-60 in a millenium.

I traded my 2007 GXP in on the Camaro. Wishing I hadn't done that now. Love the Camaro but do miss the "Fun Car".

Sure, because profitability doesn't matter. Every company should continue to build products that are pretty. Doesn't matter if they lose thousands for each unit sold.

Well at least it's unique. It does seem to be a well built vehicle.

Beautiful cars, great idea, but beyond the styling GM screwed up the execution royally. Handling dynamics and interior design and quality were nowhere near competitive with the MX-5. They were significantly more expensive than the MX-5, and for some unknown reason sold at higher volume, but GM still built each one at a loss. It almost seems like they were trying to screw it up.

So when Jazz was killed off in Transformers it was all just a sign of things to come....right?

Two beautiful cars gone. They were big hits for GM they should re badge/remodel and save them as a Chevy and Buick/Cadillac. They need to be more selective and save some of the better selling models in these brands.
