I like the S2000 for its "hondaness," but the sky redline is a very attractive car, especially given its price and specs. I'd give a shot with the sky...

you still want to go with a Saturn?

well first off, the S2K has little difference on the traction and suspension. not to mention, a little tweaking on the S2K suspension, it can takeout our Evo's on the track easily. and it consist of plenty of room, as for the Sky, you have no more room. so i give the S2k pluses!!! sky.. maybe its good... but have you heard of good feeds from Saturn?
thats just my 2cents.

when you say room... do you mean interior space?? if so.. it has PLenty of room! just remember.. not being racial or anything but.. Japaneese cars are designed typicaly for they're smaller people. compared to the average american. so if the S2k has good room that is a plus for the honda.... American cars are designed for us big fat sloppy n proud americans all those facts about average american height n weight play factor into the design... theres a guy on skyforums thats 6'2" 280... and he fits with room to spare.. if this is what you meant.. is NOT and issue with the sky.. the car is born W I D E... as far as good feeds.. on the boards they couldnt be happier... no recalls or any of that crap yet.. but the car just came out.. not that long ago.. so dont write it off yet

i am doubting about this SKY....
first of all, it's just all HP number.
when you get into the car, the feel.
when you drive it, handling.
when you want to go fast, performance.
i doubt the SKY can really bring you all these.

Car and driver magazine / .com.............. great magazine one of the most reputable... said this
CarAndDriver.com : Saturn Sky Redline 2007 -Previews

Saturn claims a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds with a 13.9-second quarter mile at 100 mph. Believable? Sure. Fun? Oh yeah. "
im surre you believe everything car and driver says about the evo... So they got the scoop on the Sky now... Still doubting.??

Oh yes, because the Mitsu logo is just so cool. Did you know they changed the front badging on the evo because they felt it looked too much like a *pontiac*? Good going! At least this is a proper sports car.... 2 doors!

oh, sure, go ahead and own one of these SKYs. i am sure you will have fun with it, more fun than having a S2000 or Miata. share your practical inputs and how other thinks of it (majority and with honesty, of course) afterwards, i am sure everyone would like to find out about that.
