DEFINETLY, FOR SURE, WITHOUT QUESTION, get the Saturn Sky.
Cale and I have talked about this before, lol. WAY nicer looking car than the Solstice. It has nicer lines overall, and the interior is beautiful. It's pretty comparable to the Vauxhall VX220, except for the engine.

It does have sharper lines. I will check it out....the thing is I will get a great price on the solstice....it will probably cost me aroun $8,000.00 more for the Sky. |

Yes it does look similar to the VX220/opel speedster , but they are way better cars, mid engined , turbocharged and stripped down light weight , the problem is N America would not except a spartan car that gives up luxury for performance.
Every time I go to visit family in the UK , i drool over the VX220 |

If I was to buy anything this spring it would be a project Mustang.
I have never had as much fun in a car as my 5.0. Mustangs forever!!!
Now that I'm a little older than my 5.0 years (and less about speed and more about style) - I'd be looking for an older one (64 to 67) with a 260 V8.
Edit: Maybe I'm not about less speed... lol. Give me the s-code 393 stroker! ;) |

I thought that the 260 was only available in the early 64's and then they were all 289 cars
I would love a 67 K code car fastback of course |

If I had the money to buy an older car, I would buy either a '69 Shelby GT500 fastback, or a '44 Willys coupe then chop the roof, shave the latches, and drop a blown big block chevy in it. :crazy: :haha: |

Yes, the 260 was dropped in 1965 when everything moved to the 289. |

| Never have I thought that in my life I'd see Saturn churn out convertible, much less one as good looking as the Sky. |
