More Review Flashback! fun 2009 Saturn Sky Red Line Review Overview Presented here is Consumer Guide’s original review of the 2009 Saturn Sky. Of course, there are 8 Skys that were built in 2010, though none of those are reported to be Red Lines. Of the 34,407 Skys built between 20, just 11,132 were Red Lines. It is the Red Line that car collectors of the future will be seeking out. The Red Line also boasted unique-though not larger-wheels than the base Sky, as well as a sport suspension and unique trim elements. Both the GT and G2X were virtual clones of the Sky, save for grille inserts and minor fascia-trim tweaks.Īn analog for the sporty Pontiac Solstice GXP, the Sky Red Line swapped its mild 2.4-liter 4-cylinder (GM code LE5) for a turbocharged 2.0-liter four (LNF) that was good for 260 horsepower-a solid 87-horse bump over the 2.4. The Sky was a mechanical twin to the Pontiac Solstice, though it enjoyed unique bodywork and cabin appointments. Both of these two-seat convertible sports cars were built on GM’s purpose-built Kappa rear-drive small-car architecture, which also underpinned the European-market Opel GT and Asian-market Daewoo G2X. One car that probably deserved a little more mourning time than it got was the Saturn Sky, especially the performance-oriented Saturn Sky Red Line. GM’s Hummer, Pontiac, Saab, and Saturn nameplates were all mostly ghosts by the 2010 model year. The General Motors bankruptcy that came-at least in part-as a result of the 2007-2009 Great Recession wiped out a slew of established car brands, and all of the models those brands retailed.
