Propelling this fine looking ride is a 2.4-liter, 170-horsepower four-cylinder that's responsible for carrying around 2,860 pounds of curb weight. Torque is rated at 162 lb.-ft, and either a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission manages power. Short- and long-arm suspension front and rear works to control the ride, and braking is courtesy of a four-wheel, antilock setup.
Saturn is among at least a few GM divisions that are in need of a turnaround and fresh product. The sporty and attractive Sky roadster might be the catalyst for Saturn to ramp up sales and get the brand back into shoppers' minds. Available starting in the first half of 2006, the 2007 Saturn Sky will be priced from the low 20's, with an anticipated volume of 10-12,000 units per year.
