Visiting the dealership again recently, I walked over to used cars to see the prices for used Aura, I thought about a used Sky.  However, the Corvette fits me better.  Amazingly, the Saturn dealership has a used Le Mans blue Corvette.

It could use a wash a little polish, but it certainly does fit me better than the Saturn Sky.  I have head room in the Corvette.  It even has trunk space.  The Sky has no trunk space with a hump in the trunk to hold the rear glass when the top is down.  A new Sky is still cheaper than a used Corvette.  It also has better gas mileage.

The Corvette is more intricate.  It has push button door releases.  Push the release, then the window nudges down.  Close the door, the window nudges back up.

The Sky’s styling is impressive.  It’s a clever blend of flared fenders and angularity.  Where as the Corvette has reduced it’s curves over time.  I have a model with after market fenders attached to the quarter panels.  The modern Corvette are more subdued.  The most recent iteration I think has a faint hint of Dodge Viper styling.
