That makes it seem like it is a company that has never made cars. Harley or something similar perhaps?

Kawasaki, theyve been threatening to break into the market for years, but personally, i dont think they will make too much noise. Maybe in the Racing Circuits, but not in car sales

Yeah.. but it's a Saturn Sky roadster.

People own Saturns.

But I think what whoever said that, meant was, You've never had a rear wheel drive roadster from this company.

Are you sure? The headlights don't seem right to me to be a Saturn.

Wow thats pretty sweet looking. Wonder how big it is? Wonder what it will have for powertrain.

Edit: My buddy at GM said its going to have the 170hp 2.4 in it, and will be Mazda sized.

It's bigger than the Miata if that's what you were referring to.^^^^^

It's more along the lines of the S2000, which is bigger than a Miata.

The solstice is ugly IMO, the sky would be an easy choice for me, hands down.

This Saturn is supposedly built on a rear wheel drive platform that's smaller than the Cobalt/Ion. The Nomad concept is built on the same platform as well.

These should help.

Actually it was. The concept was out in 2002. The 2002 saturn sky is greatly different to what is the Saturn Sky production car. Its a good thing the changed the way it looked cause the production one is way better than the concept

Check it out
2002 Saturn Sky concept


For a bigger pic check it out on this link

Also Supercars.net has shows a lot of concept car on their site

The only problem with Supercars.net is they have a lot of annoying pop-up and they to get rid of them you have to become a member or a gold member of some sort

Actually, from what it says in GM Edge and Automotive News, the Sky was the original concept. The Nomad and Solstice were built post-sky.

GM has told us that they have no plans to take the Cobalts Delta platform into a convertible for safety reasons. Anybody who has ever driven a Cavi convertible knows what they are talking about.

Rather, this vehicle will compete with the PT, Mini, Beetle convertibles, as it is a much smaller vehicle than the Cobalt.

I dug up some more pics of the Saturn Curve... They're pretty big, so I apologize in advance for those dial up users.
