...with everyone getting new daily drivers, i realized i needed one too.
On my way back up here to NY from jersey, i got to thinking, i need a more fuel efficient vehicle, spending 100 bucks each way everytime i go back home has got to stop... so i decided to stop by a local dealership and see what they had to offer... i was originally looking for a pre-owned base model, but i said what the heck... paperwork is all done, i pick it up tomorrow after work... :twisted:

Looks like fun. Anything in particular that made you go with the Saturn Sky over the Pontiac Solstice?

I think the sharper lines of the sky are better looking than the bubbly look of the solstice. Congrats and Enjoy!!!

Very nice ride, much better than the Eclipse you asked about :nod:

personally i think the solstice looks like an eggplant that fell on the road. i hate the nose of it, and the rear too. lol.

And i love the angular lines of the sky.

260hp in such a little package, lol

of course its the redline....lol i wouldnt have any less.


and the eclipse i wasnt serious about, i just tried using that as a loophole to post up that it was for sale since it wasnt my car and couldnt be in the classifieds... kinda backfired cuz u all thought i was serious haha

yeah, with the color, the dealer had just 3 2008 SKYs, silver white and yellow, but only the yellow one was a redline. The color Starburst yellow is an additional charge over all other choices. Its awesome in person i can't wait till after work.

The GP was sold over a month ago, and the Denali is up for sale. The trade in value wasn't worth it so i just kept it. If i dont sell it, i'll park it in jersey and then use it in the winter if we dont deploy by then.

and no motor swaps for the sky for some time... but in a few years when the warranty is up.... who knows, maybe an LS9...

thats a sweet car for sure. I drove it's brother the Solstice GXP and found it to be a very fun car with the only downside being the lack of low end power. I could get the car chirping gears and sliding sideways with ease plus the shifter was very nice as well.

Good choice. Enjoy!
