I like the interior of the Solstice better and the body on the Saturn better. We know Pontiac will survive but Saturn needs to step up with some cool cars. This might just put them in the cool club.

I almost think the saturn is looking more sporty on the interior and exterior. I do think the sky puts saturn in the cool club tho.

I have only seen the Pontiac in person and looking at pics of the Saturn. Its hard to give an honest opinion and we all know what they are worth anyway.:lol:

I had a new Saturn SC2 one time. It was a good car, but terrible quality. I did like the dent resistant exterior panels.

We loved our little SC2 till weird things started happening to the electrical. We just traded it rather than let the dealer chase the problem while we suffered.

My engine started tapping, then it got totalled out when someone hit me from the rear and took off. The people in front of me got charged with the accident because they were borrowing the car from some chick, they didn't have a drivers license or proof of insurance and they got "lippy" with the female cop. the weird thing is the airbags deployed the next morning when I started it up.:lol:

I don't know?!? I don't think it's fair to compare the ugly (Saturn) against the repulsive (Pontiac) ish. Honestly, I didn't like either. sorry, but I think Pontiac needs to get different design engineers. Look at the GTO!! It's an utter monstrosity.. AKK! I guess I'm stuck in the days of real horse power. When I think of a GTO, I don't think of a plastic bubble like they introduced 2005. I think of a steel body, slick lines (1968-1970) with a standard 400 cu in V8 Ram Air... Sorry, I guess I'm old fashion...

My wife and I had a SC2... traded it in.. no reason against the car..it was great. I have seen both in person. The Sky is way sexier.

Its not that they designed a bad car, its that they lazily rebadged an existing car. Its just an Austrailian Holden Monaro rebadged. :disapp: id be happier if they sold it as such and put some actual effort into a real GTO.

Saturn, cool club----------------> :disapp: :withstupi but its way better than the Ion and View. Saturn is a practical car and will have a hard time convincing buyers other wise. The Sky is so unpractical that I'm surprised GM put it in the Saturn line and the performance numbers aren't that great to start with. Basically amounts to an almost affordable Two seater covetable with Sky high insurance rates that will take major $$$$$ to keep up with other stock sports cars.

Finally, someone else that thinks the GTO is a dissappointment. What do you mean finally?:scratch: Most everybody I have heard is disappointed with the new GTO. It a great car but not worthy of the GTO badge. Kind of like when Ford built the Mustang II. Should have just dropped that and called it a Pinto GT. Pontiac should have continued with a Grand Prix GT or something.

:iagree: that the new GTO is a big :disapp: my dad and grandfather had many old GTO's and they loved them. Once my dad heard about the new GTO going into effect a few years ago he started to think about it. I have a cousin that was an engineer on the exhaust system for the new GTO and he told my dad that the car will NEVER be what it was. Once the new GTO was introduced my dad was really :disapp: and said it looks the same as my little brothers 2001 2 door grand prix just with a bigger engine. My dad is looking more into the Sky than the soltice. He really wanted a BMW Z4, but he just got the goldwing so I think the Sky may win it.

And its a shame that to get a V8 in a car these days, you have to pay out the @$$ for it. Even the 'stang GT. Good luck getting one thats not decked out.
