What I love is how this one was passed up:

Now the real question that came out of that article was this. For all of the folks who cry foul when something comes along that is faster and write, "I didn't buy my car for straight line speed, I have my S2k because it is cheaper and handles better and gets good fuel economy."

Witness -- the Miata. ~8 grand cheaper than the S2000, better braking, better roadholding and better fuel economy. Hmm.

I like the Sky as long as the top is down from an "looks" viewpoint. The Solstice I just can't get used too.

The Redline version should really heat up the rag-top wars

Only thing worse than the "haters" is the constant butchering of the English language. And to think I made fun of the Kappa guys for doing the same thing before Chris "speak no good English" tople's post.

I haven't thought much of them either. Until now, for the most part, they have been 3 year old Chevys with plastic body panels hung on them. It looks like GM is getting off their butts and making Saturn a decent division. The Opel connection can't be anything but good for Saturn.

Repositioning saturn into the entry-luxury market is about as ridiculous as turning Oldsmobile into a youth-oriented brand









we all know how that turned out
