See more » It's no secret that the Saturn Sky and the Pontiac Solstice share the same basic mechanical package beneath their respective skins. But before accusing the Sky of being a case of badge engineering, much closer scrutiny is in order. The shapes are decidedly different and in that design exercise, as well as the basic equipment levels, is where GM differentiates the two open-top sports cars. Whereas a bare-bones Solstice is stickered at just under $20,000, the least expensive Sky costs $23,115 — and has the goods to match the price. The design of the Sky is far more important to Saturn than the Solstice is to Pontiac, because it is part of a general theme that will see all that division's models taking on this look and aligning them with similar Opel cars on sale in Europe. Although the Solstice and Sky share the same 95.1-in. wheelbase, the Pontiac has a much more organic shape while the Sky is crisper, a more technical look. The shape was heavily influenced by the Vauxhall VX Lightning show car, which boasted similar clean surfaces and sharply drawn character lines. Both the Sky and the recently launched Opel GT share the same large projector-beam headlamps flanking a horizontal grille with a chrome insert. The lower fascia sports a large mesh-covered intake flanked by additional cooling vents and driving lights. In keeping with the slightly more upscale positioning of the Sky versus the Solstice, there's a bit more body jewelry, including chrome vents atop the hood, chromed door pulls, and chrome detailing on the rear lamps. These shiny body bits jump out on black and dark-colored cars, while the same features disappear on silver models. That upscale appearance extends to the interior, where the center stack and armrests are done up in Piano black lacquer accents, while chrome accents are used on the shift knob, door latches and pulls, the instrument bezels and on the steering wheel. Particularly fetching are the optional two-tone leather seats and door panels, part of the Premium Trim Package. Like the Solstice's, the controls are logically laid out and simple to use — rotary knobs control the air conditioning, while the radio is a standard GM unit with a large on-off and volume knob. Lights and wipers are stalk-mounted, while cruise control, the driver information center and redundant radio controls are mounted on the steering wheel. The interior fit and finish, gloss levels and materials are top-notch, although some may quibble with the painted silver portion of the console surrounding the shifter as not being up to the same level as the other interior bits.
