Luckily, I never name my car "civicsky" or it would end up like the "Sky" from Saturn.

Ppl at GM maybe thinking since Pontiac has the Solstice (50/50 day and night), why not just call its little twin "Sky"?!

I can't find any proof that they are based on the same platform. yes the solstice/sky has similar lines and body style, but I can't find anythign that says they are on the same platform.

The Solstice and Sky are in the same platform. I was questioning the statement that they are Opel Speedsters.

dirtySAMURAI is a splendid one to behold

definitely having an identity crisis over at saturn.

the sky is inspired by the vauxhall vx lightning which is based off of the pontiac solstice which is inspired by the opel speedster. or at least that's what i'm understanding...

^^ That's a lot of research! I like the Sky better just because of the nicer looking front than the Solstice. However, I wouldn't buy neither of them even I had the money. They're just not the type of car I want

As I said it is an in-house design.
