Chevy HHR

HHR is super gay...
Sky looks cooler than the Solstice but both perform pretty good. I read 2 magazine comparo's of the Pontiac Vs. a new Miata.. one mag gave it to the Solstice and the other one liked the Mazda. I realy like the agressive look on the Saturn.

I like the SKy better than solstice but the solstice has the better rear end and interior. Rumor has it that the GXP and redline version will be a turbo'd 2.4l(?) ecotec with 240hp. That's pretty sweet if true.

I think i would have to buy it if it was a turbo. Those things would fly.

im trying to get my girlfriend to buy a saturn sky... that would be HOT... that car is actually very nice

I heard a "rumor" that RevItUp will be purchasing the first 2.4L Turbo Pontiac Solstice on the East Coast....But hey, what do I know? lol

GaryS · Oct 17, 2005

They couldn't have because 500 Solstice's were already released and sold. Pontiac sold those cars to high priority customers, then decided to stop selling

vypurr · Oct 17, 2005

Yes, but has anybody bought a 2.4l Turbo? Cuz I heard that we have placed the order even though nobody else can even order one yet!

I heard Ray's Mexican....but the SKY is a LOT sharper IMO. I've got a lot of SKY photos from the NY Auto show

I read in an SCC that GM threw an LS2 in a Solstice for shits and giggles!!

Actually, you could have one of those as your own. There's a company who actually fits an LS2 with options for an LSD--all for about 40 grand total:wave:

Already, damn. 40K seems like a lot but how much does that car weigh+400HP...sickness.

GaryS · Nov 6, 2005

The company is Mallet. For $40k a brand new solstice w/ LS2 and GM 3 year warranty. That doesn't seem bad at all. They are only making 500 or some of those. Pretty decent deal.

The company plans on only making 100 units, although they will be building V8 Solstices AND Skys. Here is the info:

the sky is the american version of a lotus something (i forget which one) isn't it..? I saw it on that car show on discovery channel (forgot the damn name) with the old dude.. that car is sick..

vypurr · Nov 7, 2005

Na, Solstice/Sky are a new design on a GM Platform. No relation to Lotus at all. They may slightly resemble the Lotus Elise tho!
