I have always loved the '59 droptop.
For me, that is the "classic" car.

I heard a ruckus.
Could you describe this ruckus? :lol:

I love how the steering column actually ends up through the roof. I don't think we'll see that model stateside anytime soon.
thank god... a crash at 26mph would be fatal. Scary.

I guess we just take safety for granted now. Obviously it can't be that easy to make a car safe based on that video.
that makes me happy in a hard place :lookaroun

Hehe, and the link is to a website called "Goodwood"
Rob, I'm right there with you...some mighty fine lines on that car.
What's the GT-R go for approx?

I think they're shooting for around $70,000 to compete with the 911 (on price, anyway), but it will probably quickly climb with options.
That would also put it up against the Z06 (for which it would probably be a closer performance competitor than the 911).
Not 100% sure on that though. It could go higher, but I doubt it would go lower.
Personally, I'd like to see more options filling in the 50K to 100K range. It seems like there's not much in that range, then you've got a lot in the 100K to 200K range.

Any rumors of the Sky RedLine? I like the design of the Sky better than the Solstice...that's why I'm curious.

:shrug: I haven't heard much, and I have been paying attention. The next logical step would be a coupe which would be very interesting to me.
I would say that if you're interested in one, we're not likely to see any major changes/improvements soon (except possibly a coupe) so go ahead and get one.
*Edit* You do know the Redline is available now (I think), don't you? When I went back and read your question, I realized I may have mis-interpreted it.

Oh, no I didn't :lol: That's what I was asking about.
Any "number" improvements? I know it's not a "speed-demon" but it's a fun car...and decently priced for a little summer car.

I think it's nearly identical to the Solstice GXP. The only real difference is that you'll probably be able to get a little lower price on the Solstice since you can negotiate down from the sticker (comparably equipped prices were nearly identical from what I could tell building them on their sites).
I'm thinking about getting one myself. Now that I've got the Cobalt, I've got a trunk, backseat, all-season tires, a car Ryan can drive, so all the reasons I would have had for not getting a Solstice or Sky are gone.
I'll turn in the BMW in a few months, and then I've got to think about what to get next. Since I'll have the Cobalt, I'll have pretty much complete freedom.
. . . at the moment though, I'm most interested in the new Buell, and I may go with two wheels instead of four. I think I should be able to show you photos on July 8th. That's when they're scheduled to unveil it to the dealers (though it won't go into production until fall).

Which do you prefer? The Sky or the Solstice? I like the front fascia of the Solstice but the rear deck/fascia of the Sky.

Originally I liked the Solstice better, but over time, the contours of the Sky seem to hold up better for me.
I think I'd also rather work with the Saturn dealer than the Pontiac dealer.

Funny - my parents are torn between these two cars at the moment. They're just about to retire and want to get one more "fun" car (currently, aside from their regular vehicles they have an MG - not sure what year other than the 50s). I have a feeling they'll end up with the Sky. We live very close to a Saturn plant and so most people like to support that make around here.
So I'm a total girl when it comes to cars and such. But I thought I'd share... my brother has an older model Lotus which most people seem interested to hear about. I think it's bringing him closer to being 007 in his mind.
Though it is not capable of going underwater... :lookaroun
