The biggest tease of a car this decade: Sky Red Line

[Techun]

I used to really love the saturn sky, until I sat in one. Everything just felt wrong to me, it felt like a toy, but not near as bad as a miata. I don't fit in that car AT ALL, and im only 5'10" 175



redline Sky for looks and performance, s2k for comfort and ..style? it's definatly a cool car.

What's a Sky ? Anybody got any pictures for this helpless Brit ? :nixweiss

In Europe it’s being released as the new Opel GT.



They won’t bother with the base model that we get here in the US, the GT will only be available as the turbo (ie the Sky Redline).

1. Interesting, I'm 5'11", 155 pounds (although when I lifted more and ran less I weighed 165). My 1999 Miata (with a far smaller interior than the current model) has always fit me fine. I've always found Mazda interiors to be small but fighter-jet like with everything placed around the driver.



2. Yep. The S2000 is an amazing car. Nothing like a $30k Porsche beater. Watch the Top Gear S2000, Boxster, Z4 comparison if you can find it. The S2000 would be the perfect sports car/roadster if they dropped the power roof (save 50 pounds, and the Miata demonstrates you can raise/lower a roof in under 7 seconds), and got rid of the silly digital gauges. OK, it looks a bit boring too, but its performance more than makes up for that.



If I were looking to drop $15k on a car today, I'd buy a 2002 S2000.
