I don't know much about them except they are turbocharged roadsters that put down 260hp? I'm not fond of GM products but it "sounds" like they'd be pretty quick. I've never seen any driving around and they've been out since 2006.

They're too small for any man to drive... if they were a foot longer, they'd be on point. The styling of the Soltice and Sky are awesome, but the cars are just small.

I love the Sky RL it's pretty cool I personally like it. I read some where that it is and I quote from the article "It's like a mini corvette...somewhat." BUY IT looks like a fun car.

Sky looks like a mini Corvette from the side and pretty aggressive from the front & rear. It's tiny inside and there are too many bulky interior panels which take up space in an attempt to give it a clean look. There wasn't much room in the Sky for my right leg, kept rubbing against one of those panels, didn't like that cause I need some "stompin' room" for that accelerator. You'd be better off just buying a used C5 Corvette.

I've sat in a Solstice and couldn't do it... not a chance. 6'3 240.

Sky > Solstice in the syling department. I heard there were quite a few problems with the Sky (not the Redline) the first year they came out, but I guess that is somewhat expected for an automobile in it's first year on the market.
