So you need a vette for the wife. Just can’t seem to stomach the fifty grr. it takes to get the bowtie-bad-boy in your garage. I’ve got the car for you. It’s as sexy as Jessica Alba. Only problem is that the only humans that fit comfortably in the new Saturn Sky are people scaled to the size of Ms. Alba.

When it comes to style, nothing, I mean nothing in the twenty to thirty thousand dollar range compares to the Saturn Sky. To me the styling has hints of the corvette of yesteryear. I took delivery of the 2008 Saturn Sky Redline (turbo) dressed in all black. For those of you who listen to “The Car Show” you know black is my favorite color. If I ever buy a convertible it’s going to be in triple-black. That’s black paint, black interior, and black top. Eat your heart of Jessica.

The Saturn’s angular design, high ached hips and chiseled front-end combine to give it its runway good looks. In the case of the Redline, beauty is not only skin deep. The 2.0 inline-four forced injected via turbo is exceptionally quick. I will say there could be slightly less “turbo lag”, but the power is transferred to the pavement soon enough for most. The Sky handles like it’s on rails. The steering is quick and responsive. The ride is well…sporty. The seats are a little hard, and the seating position can render most guys over forty broken for days at a time. The interior is as simple as one of George Bush’s State of the Union Addresses. You know what I mean right. Your four-year-old could figure out the amenities before losing focus.
