2007 Saturn Sky Red Line Features Turbocharged Value
260-horsepower roadster to start at $27,895
Detroit – Today, Saturn announced that the 2007 Sky Red Line will be available this fall at a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $27,895 (including destination charges). Retailers are now taking orders for the turbocharged variant of the Sky roadster, which is one of the hottest selling cars in the auto market.
The Sky Red Line features the 2.0L Ecotec Turbo engine, equipped with direct injection technology. It produces 260 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, making it General Motors’ highest specific output engine ever at 2.1 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement.
“Through its design and advanced technology, the Sky Red Line shows that Saturn is making vehicles like never before,” said Dave Smidebush, Saturn’s director of marketing. “But the Sky Red Line also demonstrates that the brand’s commitment to great value and innovation in our product lineup is as strong as ever.”
Along with the boost in horsepower and torque, the Sky Red Line features a long list of standard equipment including:
Stabilitrak electronic stability control
Traction control
Close-ratio five-speed manual transmission with self-adjusting clutch
Four-wheel ABS disc brakes
Limited slip differential
Performance-tuned suspension with coil-over Bilstein monotube shocks
Air conditioning
Power locks, windows and mirrors
OnStar with one year of Safe & Sound service
The Sky Red Line will accelerate from 0-60 mph in about 5.5 seconds, and will run the quarter mile in about 13.9 seconds.
Saturn, a division of General Motors Corp., sells vehicles in the U.S. and Canada through a network of about 500 retailers, with a focus on providing innovative products with solid value and excellent customer service. In 2006, the brand begins a major revitalization of its portfolio with five new vehicles: the Sky and Sky Red Line roadsters, Aura midsize sports sedan, Vue Green Line Hybrid and Outlook large crossover utility. These new vehicles join the current lineup that includes the Ion compact sedan and quad coupe, Vue compact SUV and the Relay crossover van.
That chrome is a little loud and doesn't really do anything for the car.
In my opinion the addition of chrome was a design decision which surfaced when some fartbucket asked the question "how can we get away w/ using the same wheels as on the non-redline version?" .... pfffffffffffffffffffff
I've seen quite a few Solstice's on the road lately and I have to admit that I really like the look of this car. As I've been really interested in roadsters lately, this has caught my attention. Just not sure if I have enough faith in the brand yet. Maybe in a couple of years....
I still don't know if I can accept a $30K Saturn. Let's face it--none of these are going to be sold in "base" form, as the dealers will order all the Red Lines loaded. Given the precipitous drop in Saturn quality and customer service over the years, I'd much rather take an S2K for that amount of money.
