I have never seen that SKY concept version, thanks for the pics. Looks like a variation of the Curve concept. As Brian pointed out, there is some info that needs to be corected here. I'll let you Google and Wiki all this stuff, but I know what I say is right.
Tha SKY concept came out for the 2004 Frankfurt Auto show as a Vauxhall, yes Vauxhall (GM) Concept, not a Pontiac or Saturn or Opel..(um,,,and the Daewoo version wasnt even born until 2006) yes there are many vehicles that have used the Kappa platform, including the Curve concept that never made it. It is an indisputable fact that the SKY and the Solostice are the same vehicle. Early pictures of the Wilmington DE plant showing BOTH vehicles in the same assembly line and ready for shipping were released to Saturn employees back in '05. The SKY and the Solstice are almost identical vehicles. The Solstice went on sale back in '05...let me further explain, although you may holler, it is truth.
Back in '05 we werer called into a meeting with our boss in Detroit. He was saying that GM was in finaincial trouble and that most likely either Buick, Pontiac or Saturn would be on the chopping block. Sources said that as Buick had a older gen following and Saturn had the customer rating it was to be failing Pontiac whose line badly needed refreshing. We were expecting to hear the news and were suprised that instead of closing either, Pontiac was given the basic design of the SKY and told to redesign the body to make it thier own. It was designed after an older roadster and in '05 orders for GM's first convertible roadster in years was available for order. Soon after, SKYs went into production but were not for sale until nearly a year after the Solstice hit the streets. Thats when the pics leaked from Wilmington. Um, how do I know this? Because I saw the pictures, I was at the shows, I had customers who wanted to trade in 1st year Solstices for SKYs when we had the first one in thse showroom, er and we owned Pontiac and Saturn dealerships as well.
I think I might know what I am talking about. Dont have time to Google this stuff up, but I know that I know what I know is indisputabley true, ergo, I will leave this thread alone. Have at it, but I know what is true. Sometimes you hurt my head blah blah.
