There’s already been some spy pics of it. The Sky is way better looking than the Pontiac, but some of the rumors put the supercharger only in the Pontiac. These are all internet rumors, so who knows. ---

What’s the walk in off the street buy it right now price on the solstice? I remember hearing these things were gonna be pretty cheap but hadn’t heard if there was some massive dealer markup or very limited availability BS to drive the price up. ---

> [@Hycomp](#): > > What’s the walk in off the street buy it right now price on the solstice? I remember hearing these things were gonna be pretty cheap but hadn’t heard if there was some massive dealer markup or very limited availability BS to drive the price up. the solstice’s are pretty much sold out for the next 6 months the last time i checked. but sticker is 21ish and mark up will prob be around 3 i would imagine once they start getting enough in to sell to the public not just to people that researved them months ago. saturn isnt suppose to mark up anything because the sticker is what you pay not higher not lower. just they deal thru their trades. give you more money then you desearve to get the price of the car down.
