Up until a few days ago I knew of the Saturn Sky, had seen it, and wasn't all that impressed. [JMO, but the Solstice is a beautiful artistic design, while the Sky looks more like a hodge podge of leftover parts, but that's another discussion]. I figured it was just typical GM having multiple look alike cars as usual.
But I originally thought that with the Solstice being a 2006, and the Sky being a 2007, there would be at least a year between the 2 coming out. Now it appears the Sky might be out in February, which puts it less than 6 months on the heals of the Solstice. Am I the only one out there who thinks this will actually hurt, not help? I know it helps automakers bottom line to build cars with like parts etc, and they all do it to some extent, all the time. Except I think with GM they take that to the ridiculous extreme. How many different versions of 1 mini-van or SUV can 1 company build before profits actually deminish? GM always pushes that to the limits, so when will it stop with this car? I mean, will there be a Hummer Kappa?
Bottom line, I just think that by putting out the Sky so soon it will take away some of the mystique surrounding the Solstice. Since the Solstice is being made in such limited quantities, some people might/will not have even seen one by February. I guess I just think it's a shame that GM is finally putting out something that has the potential to be Vette like classic, and they are going to ruin it by double dipping their chip.
Am I alone?
