Detailed item info Model OverviewThe Saturn Sky. which debuted for the 2007 model year. shares the same Kappa platform the Pontiac Solstice has been using for the past two years. Standard four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. air conditioning. cruise control. remote keyless entry. and the usual power accoutrements separate the Sky from the Solstice. as does an added layer to the cloth convertible top for more noise attenuation. and a revised suspension.
