I would never buy a car in it's first year of production, especially not a convertable, ESPECIALLY not from a company on the verge of bankruptcy. I think they built it to compete with the Miata/MX5. I ould go with the Mazda anyday, since it's been around, it's from a Ford owned company, and the japanese have a pretty good reputation for screwing things together right.

I'd love an Opel rebadge. I dream of it...okay, maybe not.
Maybe GM would learn one of these days that regurgitated imports don't work. Most of their lineup is Euro-designed cars...that don't sell that well to save GM.
Hey, GM and Ford, mix in an AMERICAN designer and engineer, okay???

I would take a mx-5 (miata) anyday over the gm junk, next to the brit's, mazda wrote the book on the modern affordable roadster. The miata is an icon, and I would encourage her to look at one seriously over the gm offerings. The miata is proven, the sky is yet to be.

I don't think much of Saturn, but even disregarding that bias, I think the Sky is a lot uglier than the Pontiac Solstice it's based off of. I don't know the exact prices, but I think they're pretty close. I'd probably take the Mustang over either, but I'd be tempted by the Solstice over the Miata. The Saturn would come in a distant fourth- too ugly, not to mention the stigma of driving a Saturn. (Once upon a time, Pontiacs were desirable cars. Saturns never were.)

I cannot hold any respect for a company that outsources critical components of their vehicles- IE, the Opel and Holden underpinnings of their latest offerings, the Honda v6 in the Vue, etc.
It's a bit different with Ford, at least the majority of their cross-brand platforms started in the US. The Lincoln LS became the Jag S Type and the new T-bird for one example.
