It's starting to get a little embarassing

I'm glad that cars are getting better! Good for GM! It doesn't matter what car you buy... Cars will only get better over time. One day a Civic will have 200hp. Oh wait it has already happened. Toyota Camry's come with a 268hp V6 that gets 33mpg on the freeway. Does that make my Z any less sporty? Nope.

Just look to the older sports cars like the 240Z (which has less than 200hp). It's still a good looking sporty car!

Keep your Z clean and maintain it well! It'll always look good and drive well even in 10 years! I'm planning on keeping mine!

I am embarassed for all of us for seeing the word saturn on this website.
This is a statement born out of total ignorance, and I'm embarrased that someone named ZCARBANDIT made it.

Have you driven a Sky or Solstice? Have you even sat in one?

-djb <-- sat in a Sky, drove it, was impressed (but not trading in the ZR)

Both the Saturn and Pontiac are nice roadsters with strong road presence. You almost think you are looking at a excotic when one rolls past ya. Props to the local boys for putting out some sexy roadsters a side from the beast, Dodge Viper.

+1 Those are my sentiments as well.

A real sportscar is suppose to appeal to all your senses.
When I see one, I don't think about how rich the guy is, or how he's liking his interior. All i know is, it's sexy, the drive wheels are where they're suppose to be and it goes like stink!!

My wife really wants me to take a hard look at the Sky. Me, I still love the ZR, although I might have to give the Redline a roll when it comes out. The only thing I really didn't dig about the Sky was the manual top, and I think gas mileage should be a little better in a 4-banger.

Down here there is a 6 month waiting list for the car ( not on the list) I saw one the other day and thought it was a decent looking little car. Face it, we as a country we need GM, Ford and Chrysler to sell cars. Have you seen the mistakes they have made in the last few years ? Magnum, Aztec, any Cadi car, Aveo,Caliber....the list goes on. They need a hit worse than A-Rod in the clutch. Glad to see they may have one.

supposed to run close to the mx-5 as far as handling also... impressive. Read some of the reviews and on road comparisons, you may be surprised. I forgot who did a comparison of the new z4 3.0si, solstice, and z roadster. Solstice won with all factors included.

car looks ok... you guys have to remember when the 350 came out, it was a real head turner. just wait until the camaros and challengers come out, they will totally eclipse present cars.
