Sky looks good very diff from other cars. S2000 has a good rep for honda as far as i know. Many people will look at the sky and say um its a saturn lol. There should be no competition since there will be no more s2000. In person the sky def looks beautiful, i pick it over the s2000.

Thats the beauty of it all evo girlie.... the car is REALLY a vauxhuall / Opel (european speedsters) but they slapped a GM Logo on it.... to the average person it's still a saturn.. but its not.. when i smoke ricers in my "saturn" i hope i have a camera to show them their priceless expressions its 260 out the box... 300 HP should be an easy goal

Still a Saturn no matter which way you cut it. I had Comptech Supercharged S2000. It did lack power but the S/C did make it a little more fun.

Saturn did NOTTTT design this car!!! lol whut part of that dont people understand?? i think alot of people need to acually see the car on the road or track before saying that typical line. There WAS once a time where Mitsu , Subaru (every car company for that) was a POS and they broke the "crappy" trend. when i saw a saturn for the 1st time it was '91-92'??? its going on '07 now and i think its about time they broke the "crappy" trend. I just think its funny that S2k owners dont think they will get owned. When i get it, i WILL be looking for beef.. and it will go on youtube LOL

Your a moron. The Vauxhaull roadster was based off the lotus elise. The kappa twins have nothing in common with that car. The Sky and Soltice are both ground up designs done here in the US by GM. Whether thats bad or not is up to you.

WHAT?
GM owns Opel/Vauxhall!
Look at my post #18 in this very thread for pictures of the Opel GT, and post #20 for the Vauxhall concept.

They are all based on the Kappa platform.

Right now, I'd still choose the S2000 over the Sky Redline. Sure, it doesn't have much torque but it's such a driver's car. You feel totally connected to it, the chasis and steering feedback is top notch.

However, if the feedback regarding dealer service and build quality is good after a couple of years, the Redline would be a very tempting choice.

This is what was designed in Europe. Its being replaced by the sky with an opel badge on it and also being sold in asia as a daewoo, but the Kappas and all their variants were concieved here in the US
