SFoskett, if you don't mind, where did you find that pricing info? Considering it was originally slated for a $25k base, those numbers are pleasant (especially since I find the Sky much nicer, aesthetically, than the Solstice). Ayocee 02:51, 7 January 2006 (UTC) The Solstice was originally supposed to be priced under $20K i.e. $19,999.99 for base model with no options.
Those prices are the exact ones I heard at a dealership today from the "spokesmodel." D-Clancy 00:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC) I own a Sky redline and it is much more of a "sports car" than the Camaro. The Camaro is beautiful as well but it is a "Muscle car" and the weight is very noticable when cornering and braking. The Sky also does very well in a straight line. With the tires being similar in size to the Camaro but on a much smaller car makes for Incredible performance. On a track I can't see the Camaro competing with the turbocharged Kappa.

Those specs seem a bit odd. 5-60 is longer than 0-60? And over gas mileage is worse than both highway and city.
Perhaps I missed it, but is there source on the claim that the Pontiac Solstice is quicker than the Saturn Sky? They share the same platform and engine, so I'm perplexed as to how one could be faster than the other, especially given that I know I've read they had the same times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.81.113.11 ( talk) 21:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I want to add that the stated "0-100" time is incongruent with the data given for 1/4 mile. If the trap speed is 100mph, the 1/4 mile should be the same as the 0-100. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.97.243 ( talk) 23:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Edit(11/1/08): How is the top speed of the base saturn sky only 70mph? LOL! Oh yeah, and how can it take the base model 21 seconds to do 0-100, yet it's 1/4 mile time is 15.9 seconds @ 123mph! This is just so WRONG! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.57.65 ( talk) 14:49, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Edit (08/1/10): I've gone 146mph in a stock Redline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.31.3.197 ( talk) 11:07, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Edit (07/09/12): GMPP Stage 2 software ECU upgrade 0-60 times should be posted. With the Stage 2 I get 10% better gas milage than posted and my top-speed is over 150 mph. -Mikecronis 10:32, 9 July 2012 (MST) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikecronis ( talk • contribs)
Technically, 2007 is future, but just like GM did with the new Tahoe / Suburban / Yukon / Escalade, the Sky has been released as a 2007 model. Production is already well underway. 'Forthcoming' would not make much sense to the Sky owners who have already taken delivery of their cars! Ayocee 16:30, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Wail!
Anyway, the article says there is going to be a VX Lightning version of the Sky in Britain, but sadly that's not true, (so I'll edit that out) we English have to make do with limited imports of the Opel-badged, wrong-hand drive GT.
Gawd, I loved my VX......
Ok...I want to readd a link to a website that I believe should be included in the external links. For some reason it was removed after being on the Saturn Sky page for around 8 months. The page has been edited by multiple Wikipedia editors multiple times. At one point an editor removed all other links except for this site and one other. I see no reason why this site is considered "link spam" because it provides useful information about the Saturn Sky all in one place.
The site is www.saturnskyredline.net.

Denimmonkey, Thanks for the response.
I'll be the first to admit the site is a little bias towards the car but that is because it is a "fan site". It is not an official site but it does offer reviews about the car from many different sources...some good and some bad. Saturn Sky Reviews. I honestly think that this site is a good resource for a potential Sky buyer to get all the information they need about the car in one place. Thoughts?

The tag is completely inappropriate. The section is factual and of interest to enthusiasts. It was undoubtedly applied by an overzealous wikipedian with no understanding or affinity for cars. Remove it immediately. And no, I do not work for Mallett, Opel, Saturn, GM or any other bloody car company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.34.79 ( talk) 23:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I completely agree. The tag is inappropriate and should be removed. Aftermarket models of cars have existed for decades and presented as such. Claiming this is advertising would be the same as saying a description of a Roush Mustang or a Ruf Porsche was in some way advertising. The section is informational and completely warrented.

To whoever thinks they're so smart because they found a GM production report stating they produced 8 2010 model Saturn Skys.. I am leaving production year and model year end at 2009. If they did produce 2010 models, they were never sold as such. They may have only been produced for certification (e.g. EPA) before Saturn announced shutdown. There's no need to confuse readers with peculiarities and yeah-but-did-you-know trivia. -- Vossanova o< 15:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Has there been any thought on adding information about the original concept of the car? It was done in 2002, and while similar in several ways to the final car and the solstice concept the same year, it had several features that were obviously drawn from the Saturn train of thought and other Saturn cars (second row of seating, third door, etc.). Information is rather hard to come by, as of yet I have found: www.welovesaturns.com/concepts/2002sky.html. Still looking for some official GM documentation on it, but I know it is out there, I read it in 2002 or 2003. - AJClements ( talk) 07:41, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
