These storage compartments, along with translucent, flexible storage compartments in the front and rear doors, are marked with orange tabs for easy identification.

The door handles turn into oversized safety locks when pushed and illuminate the "locked" and "unlocked" positions.

To open the Sky up a little more, the gear shifter can be folded into the center console when the vehicle is parked.

Sky features composite panels in a unibody construction on a steel and aluminum chassis, with struts and disc brakes front and rear and P225/45-R18 tires on 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels.

Sky's key dimensions include an overall length of 4191 mm on a 2601-mm wheelbase, a height of 1310 mm, a width of 1765 mm on a 1537-mm track, which combine for a 1043 kg curbweight.

Ed Welburn, the executive director of GM Design, the Saturn Sky opens the door to a new kind of roadster. "This vehicle has personality and demonstrates a real understanding of what younger customers want. Because of that, I think Sky is going to be a significant concept for Saturn."

It should certainly give those people who crave Saturn's low-impact buying experience something more interesting to choose from.
