For less money with a SKY RL, you get more horsepower, more torque, more headroom and a better looking car... among much more!!!
If you add the only item the S2000 has standard but the SKY RL has as an option, the leather seats, it goes to $29,975.
If you add all options for both, the SKY RL is still still less money.
The SKY RL with only the options also avail on the S2000 is $31,754. If you add all the Saturn options, it is just $34,303 and includes 18" cast chrome rims.
With all options, the S2000 is either $38,265 or 38,585 depending on the material used for the optional shift knob and the type of wing used on the trunk. There is no wheel option... just the stock 17" alloy.
The full list for both wiill be at the bottom.
