Saturn Sky (2007)

Saturn Sky

The Saturn Sky is a roadster released in the first quarter of 2006 as a 2007 model. It uses the Kappa automobile platform shared with the Pontiac Solstice. The Sky concept was shown at the 2005 North American International Auto Show, with the production version following at the 2006 show. It will be built at GM's Wilmington, Delaware plant, alongside the Solstice and the Opel GT. The Sky features 18 in (457 mm) wheels and a 2.4 L Ecotec LE5 I4 engine that produces 177 hp (132 kW). Manual and automatic transmissions are available, both with five gears.

The styling for the Sky, penned by Franz von Holzhausen, is based on the British Vauxhall VX Lightning design. It will be available in some European markets as the GT, and in Korea as the Daewoo G2X. The Solstice, Sky, and GT are built in Delaware; the G2X will be produced by GMDAT in Korea. The aggressive styling has garnered praise as a welcome departure from the typical, conservative "Saturn look".

The Sky is priced at US $23,690 (CA $31,665) with a five-speed manual transmission. A five-speed automatic will cost US $24,540.
