corvette=saturn?
I was washing my wife's Vue and got to wondering. Are the both the Vette and Saturn body panels made of the same plastic?

Even if they are, Corvette does not equal Saturn.

I wouldn't say Corvettes are THAT bad.

If Pamala Anderson and Hilary Clinton wore the same type bra, could you compare the material? Of course but Pams curves would make it look much nicer.

Not that it means anything but they are not made from same material. Saturn uses a urethane base material vs glass on a Vette. You can easily flex body panels on a Saturn and on a Vette its the front and rear fascia only.

I do believe that is correct.

You can't flex any panels at all on our 07 Sky Redline. The back of my Vette pushes in with a light of push of my index finger.

It's probably a good thing that you didn't have a life threatening question that you needed an answer to.

Lots of cars are made of SMC, including the Corvette. Hell, my Camaro is too (except for the rear quarters, which are steel).
