The Red Line version looks great, it looks like they fixed some of the problems the original Sky had. I wanted to ask, does anyone actually have a Sky or driven one? My mom is considering buying it, and I really want to do research before she buys a brand new car. She is against all Japanese cars (she owned a lemon, Nissan, for 14 years and had to replace almost everything in it the first 2 years). I know this car is made by GM, which makes me uneasy, but we've owned a Saturn before, they are great cars. We currently own a Ford Winstar LX (2000), and a Toyota Tundra (2003). Apparently I am being forced to drive the Tundra, which is not a bad thing at all, I love that car, but would rather save my parent's money by buying myself a beater before I get to college, and maybe afterwards I can get a nice car. PM me if you have any Sky info. Btw she will end up buying an American or German car, so Japanese cars are not an option (I love Jap cars :heart: ). So any other suggestions <$30K would be greatly appreciated. The Sky RL we put together online came out to ~$30K. Thanks! :)


hope she isnt in any hurry to get it. could take 6+ months from when you goto the dealer and put down a deposit before they get the allocation to build the model you want. You could of course pay over MSRP that alot of dealers are asking and get an order placed now, but that would be silly!

I love how shitheads who know nothing about cars are bringing up specialty performance cars made by BMW or whatever to be tested on the Utah salt flats in comparison to the Saturn Sky's engine.

GM must be doing something right, if it's detractors have to compare its $25,000 cars to competitors multi-million dollar projects.
