The S2000 is "just a Honda"
The NSX is "just a Honda"
Why is being "just a Saturn" a problem... unless you are a badge whore who thinks the Honda badge is something special.

If it's a good car (currently I've never driven it so I don't know) why should we piss and moan about the badge? But hell how should I know, I drive just a Honda.

The Caddy line up
The GTO
Quite a number of non-domestic GM products
The Solstice
The engines in the C-130
The current SAAB line up (well the SAAB ones anyways).

I like the Sky. It's a good looking car and should perform very well.

That's fair!

I just have trouble with the people who have this attitude that a Saturn badge is a bad thing but Honda is cool. The Honda might be a better car but neither are "cool" cars. Ferrari, Corvette, 911 etc, those are cool. The S2000 sneaks in as well.

I like the styling of the Sky, I think the Solstice is a little weird looking. There are a couple of Solstices driving around town here so I have seen them in person. I'm basing my opinion of the Sky on pictures.

I've obviously driven neither, but I can't say that I aspire to own the NA version of an Ecotec. I'm sure the turbo will be a different story, but until then....

I think GM has generally done a good job with those cars, with the exception of maybe the PITA convertible top. With the C6. the new Cadillacs, the new SUVs, the Solstice/Sky and to a lesser degree the G6, I think GM is making strides towards fielding competitive cars again. I hope they keep going, the world needs fewer crappy cars.

Sky over the Solstice - the Pontiac looks like a bug (not a VW)

I would hold judgement until you drive the car -- that's unfair to GM.

GM has been rising in quality, nearly matching their Japanese counterparts. Furthermore, Lotus (you know, designer of the Elise/Exige, F1 success?) was a major consultant to GM and helped design the Ecotech as well as the Sky/Solstice chassis.

So why the hate when you haven't even driven it?

couldnt agree with you more, but i think the solstice reminds me of a frog, the sky is definitely more agressive looking

I like the sky and so does the wife.
