Default vauxhall vx lightning>solstice/sky

i think the vauxhall vx lightning looks 1 million times better than the sky or the solstic either one. i dont know what it is it just looks so much more refined and more expensive. But then on the other hand its still just a concept and the real version would be a watered down version without all the stuff that sets it apart. Judge for yourself.

That car does look way better. Their 500hp GTO type car looks sweet too.

the US gets the shaft by our own domestics when it comes to some awesome designed and powered cars. this car, as well as Holden, Ford Austrailia, and some other euro cars kick *** but we never see them here

Too angular for me....looks like a geometric nightmare

I like the simple flowing curves of the Solstice still, myself.

Actually the Sky is a slightly modified VX body to look more "Saturnish". I still prefer the VX though.

where di you hear that? the vx lightning isnt even a production car. its still in the concept stages. do you mean they made the saturn sky off this concept?

The VX concept was shown well before the Sky was ever going to be produced. Did you see the original Sky concept car? THAT was ugly...little round tub of a car with no styling. They wanted to use the body of the VX concept but due to pending Euro pedrestian crash standards the low nose wouldn't pass. They decided to use the majority of the body and make it a Saturn. There was an article on it before the Sky came out in Autoweek.
