Saturn Sky

Dynamism, pace and agility are the prime features of the Saturn Sky roadster, which signals a new direction for the Saturn brand. First seen at the North American International Road Show in 2005, the Sky is the first vehicle to boast the new look which is to be a feature of Saturn’s entire product range in the future.

“Building on its accomplishments in customer sales and service satisfaction, Saturn is introducing a bold new product design to our vehicles,” stated Jill Lajdziak, Saturn General Manager. “For Saturn, the Sky is not the limit. It's only the beginning.”

Harmony through technology
The original inspiration for the Sky roadster came from the Vauxhall VX Lightning Concept, designed at the GM Advanced Design Studio in Birmingham, UK. Its exterior is a combination of taut, sharp lines and fluid surfaces. It features a powerful front end, including a chrome bar carrying an integrated Saturn logo.The technological sophistication which is key to the Sky’s image is also hinted at in the wide stance and short overhangs, with a convertible roof which folds neatly into the rear compartment. The headlamps feature halogen low beams and reflector optic halogen main beams, rounding off the exterior look.This same design concept is maintained in the Sky’s interior, with driver-centred displays and controls. Attention to detail can be found in the piano black and chrome finish, optional leather seats, and fine, jewel-like details on the lighting controls and HVAC.
