Looks like a new Viper and a new MR-S had a kid. That's hot **** right there.

Rep Power: 0 So, basically, it's a slightly rebodied Solstice. Wow... 
Just like the Ion Redline is basically a Cobalt SS, even though technically the Redline came out first. 
Still, pretty good looking car though; but, so is the Solstice. I'd drive either of them.

Rep Power: 388 like was said, it is a rebadge soltice. Seems kinda heavy, but I wanna test drive one to see if it will make a good autox car. Base on the solstice is 20k.

Rep Power: 0 Well, if the price differences between the Cobalt SS and the Ion Redline are any indication of what's to come, then I'd say that the Saturn Sky (if it really is based off of the Solstice, which it looks to be) will probably be about $19k, if the Solstice ends up being about $20k like they say.
'05 Chervrolet Cobalt SS
Base MSRP - $21,430
'05 Saturn Ion Redline
Base MSRP - $20,885

Rep Power: 308 that's not a bad looking car. Really like the way they designed the front end of the car. I would say 170 tq is more than enough for a little car like that.

Rep Power: 323 ^^ Yes yes, but they're trying to get it here in the U.S. market, which would occupy the spot that the old Fiero occupied many eon's ago. Since we don't get Opel/Vauxhall here, someone decided that the image would be best with Saturn because Chevy will already get the Cobalt SS.
