I want the Saturn Sky Redline (similar to the Solstice, but better IMO).
The Saturn Sky Redline gets a boost in performance from an Ecotec turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, GM's first direct injection offering in North America. It produces 260 horsepower at 5300 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. of torque at 2500 rpm, making it GM's highest specific output engine ever at 2.1 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement (130 hp / 97 kw per liter) and the most powerful engine in the Ecotec family.
Unique Saturn Sky Redline specs include:
- Standard torque-sensing limited-slip differentialStandard StabiliTrak electronic stability control
- Performance-tuned suspension
Saturn Sky Redline specs also standard on the Saturn Sky include:
- Four-wheel independent short/long arm suspension for optimal handling and stabilityCoil-over Bilstein monotube shocks for excellent wheel control and road isolationHydraulically assisted rack-and-pinion power steering for quick, responsive vehicle controlFour-wheel disc brakes with ABS for excellent stopping performanceWide track for excellent stability and superior handlingNear 50/50 weight distribution for balanced handling
- Structural tunnel design and hydro formed longitudinal frame rails for a stiff body that leads to greater vehicle responsiveness and better overall feel
The Saturn Sky Redline specs also feature several unique interior and exterior differences compared to the Saturn Sky specs, including dual exhaust with chrome polished outlets, 18-inch polished aluminum alloy wheels, and specific front lower fascia with large brake cooling vents and black headlamp bezels.

the turbocharged solstice is basically the same as the redline. I will be getting a turbocharge for my solstice and it will cost me less...and I will be getting more horsepower out of it.

Oh my....hot
IMO, I like the lines of the Sky a little better. I guess I'm more of a sucker for the current design trends.
The Solstice has a very nice design as well, much more 'classical' as far as cars go. The flowing curves remind me of a Jaguar.

So far I am really happy with my purchase.....I laugh though when they say the vehicle is only $26,000.00 (approximately). If you get the absolute base model then yeah it is but the base model looks like shit. By the time all was said and done with my solstice it was $40,000

I feel your pain. I was recently in the same boat, albeit with a different car.

I'll keep my white Miata till it dies, thank you.
I've had enough with any american-made cars anyways, they're built like shit.
