2007-2008 Saturn Sky: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Saturn introduced its brand-new two-seat sport convertible as an early 2007 model. Sky shared its basic design with the Pontiac Solstice, but differed in styling, features, and price. Like Solstice, Sky had rear-wheel drive, a naturally aspirated or turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and a manual-folding soft top with heated-glass rear window which folded into the trunk. The base Sky held a 177-horsepower engine. During the 2007 model year, Saturn added a high-performance Red Line model. Shared with the Solstice GXP, the Red Line's four-cylinder turbocharged engine produced 260 horsepower. Both came with a five-speed manual transmission or an optional five-speed automatic. Red Line included specific suspension tuning. Antilock braking was standard, but only Red Line models offered traction/antiskid control, which was standard. No side airbags were available. Both models had standard air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows/locks. Leather upholstery was optional. Sky's performance and accommodations mirrored those of comparably equipped Solstices. The limited list of two-passenger rivals included the Honda S2000 and Mazda MX-5.
