Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car

Do you mean the Solstice GXP? I love those cars. They made 4,826 Solstice in 2009. I prefer the styling of the Saturn Sky Redline though. They probably sold even fewer of those. Apparently in 2010 they made only 10 Saturn Sky. That's a lot fewer than the 51 of my '97 Canadian SVXs made.

Harry

A buddy of mine just bought a 2008 chilli pepper red Saturn Sky Redline with 8,000 miles on it. It looked new and is a blast to drive. He drove over a mountain pass with his brother and me (we have corvettes) and it had no problems keeping up. It has a very unique look and lookes very similar to the Solstice. Keep us posted.

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car

Blacky and Earl,
I am thinking about the coupe rather than the convertible. Only 1,100 produced. here's one in CA: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...hRadius=0&mmt=[PONT[SOLSTICE[]][]]&listingId=345804388

The neat thing about THIS one is 1) low miles and 2) it has the best part is that GM offers a “tune” for the engine that takes it to about 300hp, which this one has already ......

But, probably only a dream at this point ....... I really don't want to sell the '97 SVX since it is essentially in show room condition and ALL the maintenance is up to date by Ole Tom. And new tires to boot. Of course the '92 is also is very good condition ...... sooooooo ...... who knows ...

Re: Hate to Say it, But I'm Thinking About This Car

I wouldn't mind a GXP coupe. The Saturn is OK, but the front is a little too busy. I would have to get a black one and black out some of the chromey bits.
