Please help identify this import - It is in Bahrain EDIT - Its a Saturn Sky

Hi All,

Spotted this car at the Bahrain "City Center" any information on what car it is ? I initially mistook the logo to be of the "saturn". It reads Sky in the rear and it also reads "turbo". I was pretty sure that the logo was of saturn, anyways any additional details on the car will be good,

The car roars when started and before I could meet with the owner the gentleman left.

Best Regards,

Srinivas

The Opel Speedster / Vauxhall VX220 is a different car, not just a rebadged Sky.

Same chassis/components/platform as them and the Pontiac Solstice too.

Yea it defintely is. The Saturn's or Scion's or for that matter some US specific models like the Honda Element and the Toyota Camry Solara even quite a few of Nissan 350 Z's (cos every other car I call and check on price is a US Spec) you see on the road in Bahrain are brought in by US Military guys here in Bahrain.

right, but pontiac looks a little weird. I like the saturn one better. While Pontiac remains a 20k convertible; Saturn wanted 30+ for this. Before discount and bankruptcy ofcourse.
