I wish they would make a 2 door.  Also this thing looks way too conservative.  All the manufacturers are becoming sissies and creating vehicles for old people.  Yeah i know I'm getting up there in age but I'm not there yet.  I'm pretty sure my next car is going to be the next gen Saturn Sky RL that will hopefully look like this and have these options....

Introduction

The Sky is the car that started it all; the car that sparked the revival of the Saturn brand. As a Saturn halo vehicle, it fulfills it’s intended purpose: which is to get people into Saturn showrooms. Buyers love the Sky for it's European looks, RWD and affordable price. RIA steps things up a notch with it’s next generation Sky.
Changes start with the the powertrain and the addition of a more luxury oriented retractable hardtop XR model. XE starts with a 2.0L 200HP Ecotec 4 and, as always, is the cheerful and inexpensive model of the lineup. XR has a 2.0L 245HP Ecotec Turbo 4, as well as the retractable hardtop. Sky RL turns up the heat on performance with a 2.8L 300HP High Output Turbo (HOT) HF V6. Aggressively styled and hard core performance tuned, RL also sheds weight by eschewing the retractable hardtop roof and using lightweight materials. Although some have questioned whether there will be next generation Kappa cars, the success of the Solstice and Sky roadster and planned uses for the platform in the future lead us to believe that isn’t the case.

Q.  

ok-
the lancer-
its disgusting looking imho-
in the picture, doesn't it look like it has tin foil on the front-lol  

I think the front end has some sort of protective material covering it.  I agree carcass, the car does look very conservative out of the box but i think they probably wanted to keep it from looking as aggressive as the evo. If you purchase a Sky, maybe you'll have an easier time finding aftermarket parts for it.  

Good point.  I hope the EVO keeps its aggressive look.

I will have an easier time finding parts for the Sky but I will still add my own little custom tweaks and fabrication to the mix to make it different from any other Sky out there.  I just have a major problem with blending in.  LOL.

Q.  

I still say the new Evo looks like a Volvo.  As for the Saturn sky, it looks way too much like a Corvette.  

LOL!!!  You're right!  It does look like a Volvo.
