This 2008 Turbo Sky Redline smells, looks and drives like it just came off the showroom floor. I bought it new in 2008 and have babied it ever since. It has never seen a dirt road and I hand polish it when it gets dusty. There are two tiny scratches on the back edge of the spoiler(see photo). It is an Arizona car and been garaged its whole life. This car WILL be a collector's item and with this low mileage and mint condition she is a keeper."

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH THE INTENTION OF KEEPING IT AS A COLLECTOR.  GM MADE A BIG ERROR WHEN THEY STOPPED PRODUCTION AND NOW THIS TURBO POWERED, SEXY SPORTS CAR IS BEING SCOOPED UP BY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND SAVVY COLLECTORS.   BEFORE PURCHASING THIS CAR I WENT TO THE BARRETT-JACKSON CAR AUCTION IN SCOTTSDALE AND IT SEEMED THAT MANY OF THE HIGH END AUCTIONS WERE OF SILVER AND METALLIC VEHICLES  WITH RED AND BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR.  JUDGING BY THE HEAD TURNS AND COMPLIMENTS FOR THIS CAR THE SILVER PEARL EXTERIOR AND RED/BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR WAS THE CORRECT CHOICE.  AT THE AUCTION, A COLLECTOR TOLD ME THAT THE SKY WAS SO SEXY LOOKING BECAUSE THE REAR FASCIA OF THE SKY IS HANDMADE FROM FIBERGLASS TO RESEMBLE THE FASCIA OF THE FERRARI F-430, WITH THE SHARK-LIKE FINS.  HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE EXHAUST TIPS ARE THE SAME YOU FIND ON THE PORSCHE 996.  THE REAR SPOILER IS THE CLINCHER IN THIS WORLD CLASS EUROPEAN LOOK STYLING.

FOR THIS AND SO MANY MORE REASONS I LOVE THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING EBAY FOR SOME TIME AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A 2008 SKY WITH MILEAGE THIS LOW (13,600 MI) AND LOOKS THIS SUPERB.  EXTREMELY CLEAN BODY AND INTERIOR.  ZERO ACCIDENTS.  WHEN I SAY THE CAR HAS BEEN BABIED, I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EVER DRIVEN IT.  THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE NEW.  IT LIVES IN ARIZONA IN A GARAGE WITH PLENTY OF ELBOW ROOM.  THE A/C BLOWS COLD AIR, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PERFECTLY, THE BRAKES ARE STRONG AND THE SOUND SYSTEM IS TREMENDOUS.  THE MONSOON SPEAKERS GIVE BRILLIANT CLARITY AND FIDELITY OF SOUND.    YOUR WIFE MAY FIND YOU OUT IN THE GARAGE LISTENING TO YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC IN THE CAR.  THAT IS HOW GOOD IT SOUNDS.  EVERY MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WORKS FLAWLESSLY.  THE CAR LIVES IN ARIZONA AND THERE IS ZERO RUST.  NO LEAKS FROM THE TOP OR CAR. PAINT IS IN EXCEPTIONAL SHAPE.  THIS SKY NEEDS A NEW GARAGE AND SOMEONE WHO WILL CONTINUE CARING FOR HER IN THE STYLE SHE HAS BECOME ACCUSTOMED.

US database may have overstated deaths in GM ignition switch recall

Fri, Mar 14 2014

The FARS analysis didn't take into account fatal accidents where the airbags weren't supposed to deploy. Earlier today, we reported that the actual death toll attributable to GM's ignition switch problem had crested the 300 mark according to new research, well up from the original reports of 12 to 13 deaths. Now, word is breaking that the US government database that informed the study that the report was based on may have significantly overstated the correlation between the study and the GM recall. The initial study was conducted by Friedman Research on behalf of the Center for Auto Safety, and used something called the US Fatality Analysis Reporting System. To recap, the study claimed that over a 10-year period, 303 people were killed in Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion coupes and sedans when their airbags failed to deploy. These undeployed airbags were then linked to GM's ignition switch recall, which as we've explained before, can turn the ignition out of the "run" position and into the "off" or "accessory" position, disabling the airbags in the process. Now, according to a report from The Detroit News, which cites research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Study Center for Trauma and EMS at the University of Maryland, the FARS analysis didn't take into account fatal accidents in conditions where the airbags weren't supposed to deploy (which isn't to say crashes and deaths weren't caused by loss of control from the ignition switching off in the GM vehicles). According to the report, this was a significant number of the cases. There is another potential problem, too. According to that same report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration uses both FARS and another database on fatalities, called the National Automotive Sampling System/Crashworthiness Data System (NASS/CDS). Where FARS uses what the DetNews calls "not always reliable" police data to record vehicular deaths within 30 days of a crash, NASS/CDS relies on what's known as a probability sample. It collects data on 5,000 crashes each year – including some found in the FARS database – to calculate a probability figure. According to a 2009 IIHS study, "Among crashes common to both databases, NASS/CDS reported deployments for 45 percent of front occupant deaths for which FARS had coded nondeployments." In plain English, FARS doesn't provide a reliable count airbag deployments.

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.

Report: GM temporarily restarts Saturn Outlook, Hummer H3 production

Saturn Outlook - Click above for high-res image gallery
Even though both the Saturn and Hummer brands are being phased out, General Motors has reportedly revived production of both the Outlook crossover and H3 SUV to meet consumer demands.
Last month, GM assembled 1,037 Outlooks at its Lansing, Michigan facility, which is where the crossover's Lamda platform stablemates (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) are built. A spokesperson for GM states that production was reinstated to utilize the rest of the Saturn-specific material at the facility, and that the automaker will continue to assemble the Outlook for a few more weeks.
