What's up guys!. Last week, I saw on MSN.com that a new convertible is coming out for 06', and from the little picture, I had no idea it was a Saturn, let alone an affordable car. When I clicked on the article, and saw it was a Saturn, and under 30k, I said to myself.. THAT is my next car!!. So, upon googling "Saturn SKY", I am so thrilled to have found this forum! :willy:
I am by no means a racer, but I do like fast cars, even though i've never owned one. I live in Upstate NY, and I want to be able to cruise, yet.. when an 18 yr old punk pulls up in his ricer Honda with his fake Vtec decals.. I want to be able to smoke the punk!!
.
Although I would love to be among the first ones who own a SKY, I also want to hold out for a more faster engine. I'm not one to do an extreme amount of engine mods. I'm one, to buy an already quick car, maybe add an aftermarker Intake.. and that's about it. It's no doubt that i'm buying a SKY.. that's a given. I even went to my local Saturn dealer with cash in hand for a deposit, but with the exception of handing me a nifty brochure on the car, he said he can give me a call when he get's more info on ordering one, and I gave all my information to him. He was pushing a Redline Ion on me.. and I was like, "uhh.. i'll wait for the SKY". He was sort of basing the SKY, by saying, "Well, I am curious to see how much leg room is in that thing.. that might be a major downfall for alot of people". Whatever dude.. i'm 250lbs, and 5' 11"!. I used to work at a Dodge Dealership.. and if I was able to fit into a Crossfire, i'll be able to fit in a SKY!!
I guess my main question is, are there any semi-confirmed rumors on what type of engine will be offered next?. Because, I went through this once, and don't want to go through it again. Back in April of 00', I ordered a 01' PT Cruiser.. I needed to have one.. needed to be the first person to own one!. And I did, $24.000 later. At that point, the Limited Edition was the highest end someone can get, with a peppy 2.4. Ordered it.. got it in July of 00', and it was great. But, a year later.. the GT Turbo comes out.. I go to trade my 01' in.. and it depreciated $9,000. It just didn't pay for me. So, needless to say, I took my 01', totally decked it out, and made it into a show car.. which you can see in my sig. Of course if I could do things differently, I would have waited out and got the Turbo.
So, i'm being very cautious in jumping into this. There is no way that i'll buy a 170HP SKY, only for there to be a 250HP option available less then a year later. The SKY looks fast, and I want to be able to back that up!. So, my question is, does anyone have any idea what will be offered next?.. and when?. Because I am itching to own one of these mini Vette's!!. I can't wait!!!
