Re: Sky Coupe - what could have been :)
That looks great. It flows well and has a very modern look to it. Its just so Saturnish.

Re: Sky Coupe - what could have been :)
Nice work! I have wondered what a coupe version would look like (and it looks good
). Since it'd be a targa top too I suppose the Sky name would still fit

Re: Sky Coupe - what could have been :)
Looks really great, but I think a traditional coupe profile would suit it better- not a fastback. Gives me an idea....
uh oh. lol
Don't hate. Appreciate.

Re: Sky Coupe - what could have been :)
Sometimes ya just gotta say...why bother? Not because Saturn is closing. Why bother doing it to both? If anything I'd say offer the Solstice with coupe (hard top and targa only) and then do the SKY as convertible only. The whole point of different brands is to have them offer something unique to people. GM got in the mess they're in by allowing every brand to be everything to everyone. Well then why have brands? Sell everything as a GM and eliminate brands. Sorry, it just bugs me. It seems that nobody gets it. If the Sky is going to be a coupe, then don't just put the Solstice roof on it, do something different. A notch-back like someone else suggested.

Re: Sky Coupe - what could have been :)
I'll admit. There are some things even I find hard to photoshop
I'm not gonna make a huge new thread, because I am not particularly proud of this fish-like creature.
My friends said it looked like a Nissan. I don't see it!!
This is just to give a general idea of what could have been.
Don't hate. Appreciate.

Re: Sky Coupe - what could have been :)
Nice. Though I prefer it to be a bit different than the Solstice Targa if it can, even though they are pretty much a re-badge with some minor cosmetic differences front and back, but it would work.
Also, sign up on my new, Pontiac tribute site, let your voice be heard at:
http://forums.pontiac-tribute.com, and talk about anything Pontiac, and share the fond memories of once a great brand who became a victim of GM's mismanagement and faltering economy.
