Default Real Saturn Sky pics

Wow! a Saturn I would actually want







Saturn's version of the Pontiac Solstice, the Sky exhibits the new face of Saturn, which will add a mid-size sedan and a large crossover sport-utility to its lineup over the next two years. Aimed at the Mazda Miata in price with dimensions close to the pricier and slightly bigger Honda S2000, the sub-$25,000 Sky gets a 170-hp, 2.4-liter Ecotec four mated to manual or automatic five-speed transmissions and near 50/50 weight distribution. The Sky comes in early 2006, and we expect a Red Line version to follow. We're wondering what sister division Pontiac thinks of the supposed budget-brand Saturn becoming more performance-oriented

Well the "import" folks tell me this motor is known to take boost pretty well so I am sure there will be a "kit".

Yea, the ecotec is a really good 4cylinder. GM has one thats producing over 1000 hp, of course you can't buy it as an option.

Its my understanding that the Sky is going to sit on the same chassie as the Pontiac Solstace and will be RWD the motor is the Ecotec 4-bager. GM already has a turbo vertion in the Saab and a supercharger vertion in the Colbolt SS. This car has potential.!
