The Sky rocks my world, I see to many Solstices down here, but we have no Saturn.

SKY all the way, I never find the Solstice appealing at all.

I'm not a big fan of either one, but I do like the lines of the SKY over the Solstice....

Solstice HAS to have a bodykit to look good. I'd Sky!

I like the looks of the Sky over the Solstice, but personally I'd probably go with a Miata over either of those two any day.

Sky for me. Got to check both out at the new car show earlier this year. The Sky just looks and feels like the better car.

Yup, and I did.

The Sky in particular looks good, but with either Sky or Solstice, who wants a crap roof you have to get out of the car to put up/down, and they're heavy (3000lbs) and slower than the Miata, except for the Sky Redline with the turbo engine.
