?From their introduction, Saturn vehicles have garnered a reputation for being fun to drive, as well as being safe to drive,?
I dunno...I've seen a lot of pictures of things (motorcycles, poles etc) going right through the plastic ones.

Maybe that's why this one has so many metallic accents...."Really, it's not plastic this time":p

The car looks nice, but no 5-speed and the FWD V6 pairing means it's not for me.

he probably means they're safe because they can't go over 70 and take three minutes to get up to 55 :p

They are finally doing with this car what they should have done long time ago. Bring an Opel here as a midrange brand.
They tried it before as Catera, but that was the wrong brand for an Opel. I think Saturn is perfect. I may just buy the Sky when it comes out. It it's like the miata without the fruity image, that would be perfect.
