The auto tranny in my xfire sucks...its almost like it was made by chrysler rather than mercedes...slip city. The ecotec motor has about the best reliability you can find, it would push the miles just as easily as any xfire motor option could...the saturn over all is a much better bargain.
Ok well I can't speak for the handling of the sky/solstice... but as for the styling it is not the looks that define the quality styling... park a gallardo or f430 next to a db9... I guarantee both of those cars will get more looks than the aston, but is their styling better HELL NO!!!
As for the transmission maybe mine is somehow slightly different, but I have no complaints about it at all... I have driven the Automatic Gallardo and that thing has a messy tranny...
