Forbes 2006 Sexiest Cars

Well Saturn Sky is first on the list. Oddly it ranked for best for college students. I know i couldn't have afforded this car when i was in college. Not the RL anyway.

"The Sexiest Cars 2006: Forbes

© Saturn

Sexiest Car For College Students: Saturn Sky
Base Price: $23,690

A new Saturn Sky roadster was one of the prizes for the young fashion designers on Bravo’s Project Runway, and the car is indeed a hot one for twentysomethings. It is affordable, sexy, fun and new enough to get a lot of looks on the street."



...twenty somethings! Forbes didn't do a very good survey of who actually buys the Sky!

Well thats my demographic and its the first car I just HAD to have (though that G35 did come close).

I think the headline would be better if it read that it was the best car for college graduates who are seeking their first very car out in the 'real world'.

Because I agree with you guys, although I worked and had money through college, I would have never bought a convertible or anything flashy like the Sky to worry about when I was driving all over campus. I needed a cheap beater with no car payments to throw kegs in and cart fraternity brothers around. Oh, SC2, how I miss you...

Geeze, sorry if I sound like one of those lousy OC TFB's, but I am a junior in college and just bought my SKY. However, fear not, I am making the payments by myself, and working two jobs to support this and my Brooks Brothers habit. No word yet on how the coeds like the SKY yet, though, as school is out now.

I'm also in that demographic. I think there are plenty of us, you just don't see 1,000+ post counts from us as much due to full-time jobs (IMHO).

I was just referring to the many retired folks that seem to post more often. No offense was meant to anyone . I wanted to point out that there are plenty of us younger guys/gals who are interesting in the SKY.
