Which car do you think looks better? The Sky or the Solstice?
 

I'm thinking about my next car which probably won't be a couple of years away, but it wouldn't hurt now to decide on which one and daydream about it. I was thinking about going with something light, nimble, and sexy with a modern and fuel efficient powerplant. It also has to be different from what I have now: a 2002 Camaro Z28 and a 2006 Pontiac GTO--both of which I bought brand new back in the day. I definitely don't want more of the same. Therefore, I narrowed it down to two cars that fit my requirements: a Pontiac Solstice GXP and a Saturn Sky Redline.

I prefer the looks of the Sky, but the fact that I can't use GM card earnings on it and the fact that I never liked the Saturn name and badging kinda turns me off to it.

The Solstice doesn't look good as the Sky, but I've always liked the Pontiac name and arrow. I can also use my GM Card earnings on it.

I think the deciding factor here will be what the females like. So, what better way than to come up with this poll? I'll be posting this in a couple of other message boards to help me decide.

So, can you please answer my question, vote, and/or tell me why you chose one or the other? Thanks in advance for the opinion.

Soltice. Then again I'm a Pontiac guy, so biased.

solstice for the win

sky FTW

Or Solstice with the Mallett body kit? Makes it look more like the Sky.

I saw the latest RK Sport catalog and saw the exterior modifications available for both cars. The Solstice with the appearance modifications looks SO much better than a regular Solstice.

sky.. without a shred of doubt.

sky... but i'm a saturn guy ;)

which car is getting traded in?

Something luxury with four doors, heated seats, and screams "MONEY!"

Neither the Sky nor the Solstice will do that for you.

debadged sky :)

lol

Neither.

Here are additional pics.

Both the Solstice GXP and the Sky Redline have 260 HP@5,300 RPM and 260 ft-lbs torque@2,500 RPM. The engine is an ECOTEC direct injection, turbo-charged 3.0 liter. Standard transmission is a 5-speed manual. Curb weight is 2,990 lbs. EPA fuel economy is 19/28 MPG. 0-60 MPH claim is 5.5 seconds. MSRP is nearly $30,000.

hah

You're probably right.

Those Body kitts are pure Butt! Unless you find out who made the kit for the Solstice in Transformers I say no way. I swear just keep it simple and get a black 2010-11 LS3 C6 leftover for a dirt cheap price in Dec

Red Line Sky :drool::drool:

i voted for the sky......:nod:

I've always been torn when it comes to these two cars......I saw the Solstice first, and really, really like it. But when I saw the Sky, I really liked that too. I think I like the look of the Sky better, but I think my brain adds cool points to the Solstice just because I saw it first.

Personally, I would have to spend a good amount of time in/around both cars before making a decision. I do really like the Mallett body kit for the Solstice though (way better than the RK Sport kit).

Sky looks much more badass. Don't get me wrong, Solstice is sexy as hell, but to me the Sk just has an edge over it

The Saturn is sharp like a razor blade. The Pontiac looks like a fat chick bending over to tie her shoes.

Just look at those pics.......the Poncho is round,smooth and sedate. A nice cruise with the top down.
The Sky looks like it would run the Solstice off the road,then hunt down the survivors.:twisted:

sort of like the SS vs. WS6.

i think the sky looks better, but id buy a soltice regardless. it seems like it'd be more race ready, less frills, more purpose built.

Quote of the week right there. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Sky>Solstice IMO. I like the rigid, aggressive look of the Sky better.

sky by far...solstice looks decent in black though

Thats why i rock my Denali ;-)

oh yea, Sky ftw

personally, i tend to like smooth lines more than a lot of the edgey late model stuff.
sky is still a cool looking car and closer to the Vauxhall VX that the platform was designed to emulate in both style and performance.
