    Something Z3 Coupe-esque?

    That'd been brilliant.

    I like the concept, not so sure about the execution. And I'd prefer a fixed roof.

    The Solstice and the Sky was one of the better things that happened to Saturn and Pontiac.

    Now they're both gone. What the hell is GM doing? Like other members have said, they should salvage the platform and build something else off of them- change the body style, sell it as a Chevy or something.

    They hardly made any money apparently. And from a bussiness point of view that's not good.

    Wow, I didn't expect that. It would have been a nice semi-halo car. For people who can't afford a Corvette.

    It's been said GM lost approx. $10,000 per Solstice/Sky sold because of their retirement debt + the expensive to produce hydroformed body parts.

    A tough pill to swallow on low volume fairly low retail priced cars.

    Would be nice if Penske could fold these into a Saturn deal.

    So the Opel/vauxhall GT has also been axed?

    Probably, they're based on the Solstice, no?

    Yep, they are all the same car, are they all made in the same factory?
