Not sure what you are talking about as it is looking like for $1500 you get the piggyback ECU and 40 whp & for another $1500 it the dual exhaust for sound and 20 whp. They were getting a car from about 270 whp to over 330 whp, a 60 whp+ gain.

I think you are the first person to say the Sky is hideous looking. It may have some faults, but exterior style definitely isn't one of them.

I think it's hideous, especially the tail. The Sky looks like a transformer and an overstyled parody of itself. The Solstice is much more classically styled, without all the typical American carmaker styling gimmicks that make the Sky's styling fit for an ADD-addled 12y/o boy.

I also think the Sky is absolutely horrendous looking.
I think the solstice looks better than the sky.
And have you seen these cars with the top up? Disgusting!!
It could have a Honda badge I dont care its fugly.

I find the Solstice a bit overstyled but you know what? It still turns my head every time I see it. Can't stand the interior but it looks fine on the outside.

I haven't seen a Sky in person yet so I'll withhold judgement 'til then. I think it looks great in pictures, though.

Actually the styling is more european:



That's a vauxhall.



That's an opel.



That's a Saturn
