perfect signs of a badge whore.

that is lame. if a company produces crap for quality then there is nothing wrong with not being interested in their products.

There's nothing wrong with Saturn and this is a very nice looking car.

I drive a Saturn. Have owned 2. This could possibly be my third. Not sure why anyone would hate a car maker with such conviction as some of these posters. I guess if it isn't labeled with BMW or Mercedes it must be crap!

I'd rather have a Sky with an LS7 in it :)

Balance would probably go to pot, though.

I could live with it - until I hit a tree :D

That ruins the point of a small roadster. You kill any balance the car has to begin with, and the minute you stomp the gas the engine will twist the frame around and if you are trying to turn when that happens its bad news. Just turbo or supercharge and tune the existing engine to 250 or so horse and that'd be ideal.

The next version of it will have a 2.0L turbo charged engine that produces 260hp/260ft-lbs of torque, give or take a few, which will be great.

And, MIKEMIKE, seems they don't. Although that is an LS2 rather than the LS7. I could go for either one though ;)

damn saturn. Its like a fat ugly girl in elem school turned hot. I might think about it. A bit more than a cheapo stang, maybe i can make some weird european name up for the badge and when everyone asks what that is i'll say something like "why its a Burozi Es Kay Whi" :)

What's wrong with Saturn? It looks hot.

If anything, you'd probably be more likely to drive this thing like it was meant to be driven instead of being so anal about it because of the badge.
