    Default Sky

    Well...another decision to make. My wife wants a Saturn Sky real bad but Saturns reputation for building solid vehicles isn't exactly top notch. The car does look nice. I would never buy one for myself but really makes the miata look like crap. Also Pontiac makes the new Soltice.

    Which one do you guys think would be a better car? (Not for you but for your wife or gf)

    From what I know the two chassis are the same, along with the smaller lotus's the elise and the exige. Thats what I have heard but I could be wrong.

    Personally I like the looks of the Saturn better.

    I just got rid of my convertible, but if I were to get another one it would be either a BMW, Mercedes, Audi TT or the VW EOS.

    For the price the EOS would be my first choice.

    They do look like they might have the same chassis, and they are both made by GM, so quality should be about the same. Looks alone??? I would get the solstice

    they are basically the same vehicle (sky/solstice) aside from styling, so you will get the same performance and reliability from either. the big downside to the sky is the saturn badging.

    X2...my thought exactly.

    As far as the S2000 yes that is a great car. But the price is quite a bit more and some of us are not engineers and crap. LOL. No but seriously the price of the Soltice is pretty nice

    im just a lowly College Student who likes cars

    and yes American cars tend to be a bit less expensive.......and I fi had the choice between Sky and Solstice.........id take the Solstice, I hear according to car and driver (where the S2000 killed them all ) I think I remember them saying that the Solstice was built for a little more comfort..........that and I just like the PONTIAC name instead of the Saturn thing..............
