We will be working on a forum dedicated to the Saturn Sky and of course you know we are going to add a section at the Saturn ION Redline Forums (http://www.redlineforums.com) for it as well.
In the mean time, if you are interested in the sibling of the Saturn Sky, be sure and check out the Pontiac Solstice Forums (http://www.solsticeforums.com) for more information about the Kappa platform based vehicles.
Stay tuned here for an update once we have the Saturn Sky website up and running!

CoBIZZLE 04-23-2005, 03:12 PM Told ya! Those things are gonna sell like hot cakes!!!
dascrow 04-23-2005, 11:32 PM something to think about.. if the solstice is going to sell for $19,900.00... what do you think the sky will sell for? saturn is always cheaper... that will be one hot car for under 20g's..
CoBIZZLE 04-24-2005, 12:12 AM Yeah look how much cheaper the RL is than the SS!!! And it even has extra doors!
DJOrtiz 04-24-2005, 04:33 AM ok dont flame... but you know how the sunfire was to the cavalier, is the solstice to the SS but just Saturn is making it instead of pontiac?
Big Red 04-24-2005, 07:47 AM The lines are getting blurred these days LOL.
87camaroPA 04-24-2005, 01:04 PM I like the Sky more than the Solstice.

Rumors say that the Sky will come in around $23k, but will probably be more loaded in base form, also the engine should have more HP in base form.
At least, thats the rumor.
87camaroPA 04-24-2005, 03:45 PM Well isint that Sky comeing out with a Redline option also?
ekool 04-24-2005, 03:46 PM Well isint that Sky comeing out with a Redline option also?
That's a rumor also :) Not sure if its true.
87camaroPA 04-24-2005, 03:51 PM Yeah i read about that in a few magazines.
CoBIZZLE 04-25-2005, 09:38 PM Supposed to be turbo'd w/ 243 hp!!!! :D RWD!!!!
87camaroPA 04-25-2005, 09:40 PM Supposed to be turbo'd w/ 243 hp!!!! :D RWD!!!!
That is something like what i heard.
CoBIZZLE 04-25-2005, 09:41 PM ok dont flame... but you know how the sunfire was to the cavalier, is the solstice to the SS but just Saturn is making it instead of pontiac?
Sunfire(Pontiac)=Cavalier(Chevy)
Cobalt(Chevy)=Ion(Saturn)=Pursuit(Pontiac)
Solstice(Pontiac)=Sky(Saturn)=Nomad(Chevy-If they make it)
Nocturn 04-27-2005, 03:04 AM Well there wont be a nomad.
The Sky will be as said, higher in MSRP as they are moving Saturn upmarket with the Sky and Aura cars.
The base models come out this year with 2.4L 177HP RWD..2880 Lbs. Where in the GT versions will have turboed 2.0s running 253HP. At least thats what rumor I believe.
Hey ekool let me know if you need a moderator :cool:.

GM i heard they are trying to push Saturn so they can get doing because they are one of the weaker of companies that GM has. But i love the Sky it is such nice car and Saturn is starting to get on track in my option.
Nocturn 04-27-2005, 09:09 PM Well saturn has that non domestic/import image, so it attracks buyers who dont normall shop GM, thus they want to move it upmarket to try and make more sales/profit.
87camaroPA 04-27-2005, 09:14 PM Witch is not a bad thing to do but it might take away the Saturns being realivly cheap cars to own.
The Alex 08-08-2005, 05:42 PM I read somewhere that the first 1000 Solstices sold in 41 MINUTES!!!!
In case anybody was wondering thats 24.39024390243902439024 cars a minute.
ekool 08-08-2005, 05:48 PM In case anyone is interested, be sure to check out the Pontiac Solstice (http://www.solsticeforums.com) Forums -- at: http://www.solsticeforums.com
87camaroPA 08-08-2005, 06:19 PM I joined and i just want to learn about it because of the possibilities that the car has.

Saturn is trying to move upmarket of Pontiac (Aura, Sky, mystery SUV) toward where Oldsmobile was with higher content and interior materials levels than their counterparts. I'd expect the Saturns to be more than the Pontiacs.

I think in this case, the Sky is not going to be too much more if at all. I know the target was under 20K for the base model, and have a RedLine model available later on for somehthing like 22-24K. Imagine that car, with a 255(ish)HP turbo'd motor and rwd? That would be sick. What's funny is there are already parts in development for the base Sky and it's 2.4L engine, wait till that comes out. Let the modding and import bashing begin:D. I'm glad toyota did away with it's newer mr2, because I think it might have just become obsolete.
werdtourmoma 08-09-2005, 09:43 AM im a pontiac salesman in rochester ny, and im attending a ride and drive demo of the solstice as well as the new pontiac torrent. we get to drive em and everything so ill let ya kno how it is
castrol 08-10-2005, 07:29 AM Please, if you do get to drive one, let us know your thoughts and post them up over
at the forums. Pontiac Solstice (http://www.solsticeforums.com)
werdtourmoma 08-10-2005, 12:06 PM yea ill let you kno how it is...i guess we get to drive it through a road course of something but i just plan on beatin the crap out of it...but thats friday so ill let you know
werdtourmoma 08-13-2005, 10:59 AM yesterday i went to the ride and drive, and after waiting all day i was finally able to get behind the wheel of a brand new solstice. they let us take them by ourselves for about 5 minutes, and i was pretty impressed by the vehicle. for 19995, it blows all comparable competition out of the water. its extremely sleak with nice lines and a well thought out interior and a good number of available options. as far as speed is concerned, it runs a 7.2 to sixty, which isnt too special, but the handling on it was stunning. it dramatically outhandles my ss, but it does have a wider wheelbase and is rwd. if any of you have considered a solstice i would back that 100%. feel free to ask me any questions about it as im sure im one of the only people who has actually gotten a chance to drive one so far
87camaroPA 08-13-2005, 11:11 AM That is awsome man.
