This Saturn concept makes more sense as a Chevy, especially since it looks so much like the C6! If you take out that chrome in the grille and shove a bowtie in there inst-baby-Vette.

I will say that this is much, much better looking than the Solstice. So far this has been the only bright spot at detroit for the general IMHO.

I almost forgot, it's called the Saturn Sky. Here is a shot of the rear of the car. The vette influence seems to stop here. I like it though, from all angles.

Pretty darn nice looking IMHO. Based of the Solstice no doubt.

Too bad I am not in the market for a puny two seat roadster. Now, if it was just a little bit bigger with at least a V6........

About a foot and a half longer, a bit winder, and with a roof and I could see something styled like this as a new Camaro. Problem is by the time they stretched it out and shoved a V-8 under the hood GM would want a ridiculous sum of money for it.

I kind of like it--nice baby Vette look.
I bet bigger engine options will follow in later model years.

Obviously Saturn has different designers then the Chevy and Pontiac branch.

It looks great.

I don't think it looks like the Corvette C6.

It would be awesome with a GM 4.2l 275 hp I-6!

I don't think it should have the side vents.

I just can't believe it's a Saturn!! Check out the interior - it looks like a European exotic...with the quality to match! And they're going to build it...?

Geezus...who'd of thunk it from Saturn, of all companies.

Its the Opel GT in Europe. If we are lucky, very lucky, GM may be wising up and bringing Opel products to the US under the Saturn moniker. My prediction[hope]; the new Saturn sedan range will be the Euro Vectra. Intact hopefully. Oh, and according to what I've read Saturn is doing away with the plastic/composite body panels. The Sky is of steel construction.

Excellent! Speaking of "baby" Vettes, how about that Grandaddy Vette!
