Yeah...while I think in pictures it looks pretty good, up close it looks REALLY good.

I've liked the Solstice since the first picture I saw of it...especially the bulbous front end. I like the Sky as well, but the name Saturn turns me off which I know is not a rational or good reason, but there you go. We all have differing tastes, if we didn't, we'd all be driving a Camry or Taurus.

Probably not a surprise to most of you but it seems certain that Saturn will have a Redline version just as Pontiac has the GXP

What's the MSRP going to be on the turbo model? I'll bet somewhere around $30g. I'd rather have a BMW Z4. More luggage space, girth, luxury and nice ride. The Z4 handles like the rx8 and is smooth too.

When I'm buying a car that has little practical purpose other than being a car, the Z4 is not an option. 1. It's extremely ugly 2. It's a BMW (and not an M3) 3. It's extremely ugly

Some angles it's ugly, some it's cool. All depends how you look at it. Heck, it's a BMW. It can be fugly and still be cool. I like it.

How strange, you're passing judgement and making assumptions about cars you have never driven.

Have you driven both? If so let your knowledge flow. I'm listening.
