i like black much better myself...
i think the black in the headlights looks much better too since it matches. if i had any car color besides black i think i'd rather have the original headlights. i also took off the front badge.

wow that black looks HOT!

Or if you have a habit of leaving it running for 5 minutes to warm up in the colder months before driving.

According to the Spec sheet the Gas Milage will be about the same average for standard-transmission and slightly less for the automatic. The car is estimated to have better highway MPG in the redline for the standard-trans as well -- wow!

www.fast-autos.net has an article up too. pretty much the exact same information, but the pictures are a much better resolution than the pics i've seen so far.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am really liking the Gauges and the radio display... Looks very nice...

Overall I think we will be happy with the car, some small things we are going to change

**rick112** · 04-12-2006, 01:05 PM

It's a very nice car but my wife would have my nuts

if I told her I was canceling our current order to wait what will end up being another year to get a Redline.

durnadupa · 04-12-2006, 03:05 PM

Beautiful, and now this is on top of my list. For only a few thousand more you can get this plus all that extra power, what a deal.

Question: Does anyone know if they will have red/black interior on the Redline as well?

Lil GTO · 04-12-2006, 03:10 PM

Saturn.com now has the Sky Red Line under Future Vehicles - not much info though.

It stated the msrp would be $ 28000.00

Sounds good to me. Number one on my dealers list.

What the heck is that "hatch" looking thing?

fkeillor · 04-13-2006, 01:37 PM

That is an optional luggage rack from saturn. I read somewhere here on the forum that you can get by it self or with a piece of luggage that is made to be straped into it. Not sure what the price will be.

Okay - Bluestone doesn't look completely horribly in ALL the pictures - and I just saw what may be a very similar color oin person on a jaguar - might not be too bad - but still may not be on the top of my short list of choices anymore.

As I may have mentioned - Bluestone has certainly gone from the top of my list to the bottom - will reserve judgement until I can see it in person.

Also thinking that on the Red Line I might have to get someone to color match the paint and change the windshield, brake duct, and trim behind the seats painted in body color.
