It looks bigger than the new MX-5. I doesn\\\'t look bad except the Grand Am style reverse lights.
Anyway, Mazda still rocks :D
i saw one on Sheppard at 404 yesterday. it had michigan plates on it. it looked real nice

good looking - questionable engineering/build quality. And you have to deal with the worst (pontiac) dealers on the planet. The new MX-5 is SWEEET!:p

I think that car is gorgeous.
First thing I would do, however, is de-badge that thing. All dem Pontiac signs r comin\' off!!!

Well I have to say that\'s not really true... really the quality thing is a popular misconception; seeing as I worked there I can say this without a doubt.
However, what I can say is the real problem is a disconnect between what customers want, and what GM actually makes. I mean honestly, they expect to save the Pontiac brand by producing a whole 2,000 of these cars of Canadian distribution.

It looks okay, but I\'d easily go with the MX-5 in a heartbeat!
I even like the Saturn Sky better (probably the same car).

Perfect. Trade you my MX-5 for your 6. I\'ll be nice and not require any cash from you. Straight up trade.

While it\'s tempting, I want a 5 or 6 speed, a 2006 MX-5 and not an MX-5 Miata, and lastly I already ordered my new 3 ;)

Phoooey. Why would you want the 06? The 06 is lighter, has more power, tremendous balance and has a lot more toys. Other than that, I can\'t think of any reason to go with the 06.
I\'ve been reading your threads and analyzing your state of mind. With that 6th white car, it\'s clear to me that you need change. You are stuck in a rut, which you need to get out of big time; you\'re jeopardizing your health if you continue your crazy ways.
First, you need to get another colour for your car. Our MX5 is silver. Then, you need to get away from those manual trannies. Lo\' and behold the car I\'m selling is automatic. Then you need to save some money and live within your means to get that dream house of yours. You\'d save a whole bunch of $$$ buying our 1999 car. For your own good.

Thats sweet! GM did a nice job on that car. Gotta see this in person.
But I heard trunk space is non-existence due to the suspension protruding into the trunk.

OMG I have a stalker :p
That made me literally LOL at work! And hey, don\'t knock the white....at least this one is a pearl, which is a big step for me.
Hello, my name is psivic, I\'m not only the President of WCOA (white car owners anonymous), but I\'m also a client :D

It is pretty dismal; this was one of the last cars I was present for the launch ceremony. The Saturn Sky is built on the same platform, but I think will sell more than 2,000 this year.
The price is actually pretty good; under $26,000, and it has I believe 140 hp or so, but that is before any sort of accessories and such. I prefer hardtops though... like the new Ecclipse

it looks like it can perform, but who really knows until you drive it and since its new this year. There must be a few bugs that need to be worked out...for starters..pontiac! haha.

all they are, are vx220/speedster copy\'s, which isnt a bad thing :)
btw they should just get rid of the saturn nameplate and replace it with opel or vauxhaul.....every time i hear saturn it just brings up images of pos cars
