Saturn SKY

For the first time in a long time, with the possible exception of the most recent Mustang, I’ve seen an affordable American car that looks hot: the Saturn SKY. Should show up at dealerships next (2006) Spring as a 2007 model year offering with a price tag around $25,000. One question, at least for now, is: How come none of the pictures feature the convertible top closed? All the websites have the same half dozen photos. Not claiming this sporty coupe will compete on performance or overall with ‘low end’ Mercedes, BMW or Toyota models (does the Solara convertible fit here?) but if General Motors can produce a decent quality car this should sell.
