I like them both, but I like the Solstice better. I'd love to get one and put a blower on it.

It looks awesome. Definitely a good change from saturn's old ugly models.

well we can't all not have lives...

Yeah I like the body work, but just like the soltice it's WAYYY underpowered... if it had 100 more hp id be more interested... but I like where saturn is goin, tryin to make nicer more luxurous cars, I say it's a good business move...

I agree, as long as they dont forget their bread and butter customers who ONLY BUY SATURNS because they are cheap, reliable (questionable lately after my sisters second one), and get great gas mileage.

I think it looks ok, but it's kind of a girls car....like the miata or BMW Z3....I agree with Grimmz....if it had more power it for sure would be a little more interesting.

I like them better than the Solstice. It looks great imo.

They come with a 175hp 4 banger in standard trim and rumors of a redline version with 250hp turbo 4.

Mallett has already stuffed an LS6 into the Solstice and sells a complete turn key package.

Well then that package would turn a few heads...250 hp on a tiny 2 seater like that would be a nice little zip zoom car...

I'm not a big fan on the exhaust, I think it should be a dual

Yeah...4 bangers don't need duals. doesn't look cool, maybe a centered dual tip like the Cobra r or something but other then that....
