Very nice! I have seen a number of Sky/Sol's over the last few days....they sure look unique and wide going down the road.
GM sure did a good job with them. Not many other US cars crab my attention like they Kappa's do. Enjoy, and DON'T press on the read deck lid when closing the top...
give it a good slam, but release about 5-6" before it closes, otherwise you will dent the thin water formed humps on the back!

Wow a lot said about the seats. As I said mine is a no frills model with cloth seats. I'm comfortable for anything around an hour or two. Not miserable after that just not as comfortable as in our other cars. I've heard (don't know from experience) that the leather ones are more comfortable. That makes me wonder how as I believe they are the same seat under the cloth. Maybe they have an air adjustable lumbar support.

Just go get it! It's a fun little car no matter what badge it's under. Even if you only keep it a year or so it will still have some resale value.




The problem I have with the seats is the leather stretches in them really bad... but they forum back out in the winter... My solstice has kind of become a second car with my wrangler now but i still drive it a lot

Yep, I'm not sure if I like the red interior inserts. I think it's bit "girlie," but then again, I'm not sure I'd like a completely black interior; I'm secure with my masculinity; I didn't buy the car to meet others' expectations; and my pick-up truck is red. So, it was like the choice of transmission; other factors were more important (like mileage, exterior color and price). Besides, since my wife and daughter are both UGA graduates and I'm in DAWG Country, I can get away with it here. Go DAWGS!

I'm thinking of adding some more foam under the current seat bottom foam, and I'd like a bit more foam in the lumbar too. The seat is fine for around town, but having driven it back from St. Louis gave me time to ponder the seats a bit.

Nice Sky, though I'm more of a Solstice fan.

This is mine.

Thanks! Nice Solstice too. I was looking at both and leaned towards the car that fit my needs, with low mileage and a very good price. The Sky won and I'm quite happy with it. Actually, I was set to pull the trigger on a Solstice but the bank had the title and my "window of opportunity" made the Sky a much better possibility.

One guy on the Solstice forum combined the design elements of the Sol and Sky and made a "Skystice." Looked really good, but was as lot of body work as the panels are not interchangeable
