Two questions about the SKY/GT

Hi guys

I have two questions about the Saturn SKY(OPEL GT,pictures from the OPEL GT at GENEVA)

What was that there,a 12V socket??


And than I see at some SKY´s pictures this button,was it for the TC(too switch them off),was this button on every SKY??



sorry for my bad english,I´m from Germany

Good Drive with our SKY

The thing by the glove box shows up in the images on the Saturn website, and in a couple of Brentil's photos like this one


Maybe Brentil knows what it is.

I don't think the other button on the stereo shows up in any pictures of American spec cars.

the button by the radio = power point (used to be called the cigarette lighter).

The other button looks like an active handling/traction control button.

Can anyone tell me why the red is distibuted differently on these pictures? No red of the seat, no red on the steering wheel and no red on the dash. Kind of looks half finished.

So I guess that answers my question about the difference between the two. I still think it doesnt look quite finished.

Do they have Onstar in the Opel too? I just noticed the buttons on the rearvew mirror-or do they serve another purpose?

Because this is an Opel GT and not a Sky.

No Red on the dash is old news that pretty much was changed right after the concept was put out last year. The button below the radio is a Traction Control Button. In the one picture it has the familiar U shape (looks like a Harp) with the letters TC inside it. The other thing is the 12V “outlet”

Thanks for the answers

The First picture is from the OPEL GT

The second picture is from the SKY(about gallery from here)

ON STAR was opposed(stoppt) in Germany for 2 Years,before this it gave ON STAR at/by OPEL



But was the TC Button on every SKY or not??(or must you pay for this opption??)

This is true - but the Solstice GXP DOES have active handling standard (the marketing name is StabiliTrak or ESC for Electronic Stability Control). So, I'd assume that the not-yet-announced SKY Redline would have it standard, too, meaning, by inference, that the Opel GT would have it standard as well.

Or so my thinking goes...

Then that's the button that switches it off. It looks like the same button that does it in the Corvette.

Send a message via ICQ to Dante
I, too, was looking at the pictures from the Geneva show, and I noticed that the Opel GT had twin exhaust pipes, something many Sky/Sol owners have begged for... It's nice that they get it right out of the chute, but dang, why'd we get stuck with the dorky single pipe when they get the twin pipes?

Twin Pipe

HI
The twin pipe is a need because we have a 260 HP engine 2.2 here and they will come with the 170 Hp only up from end of next year. Be Lucky to have the already in March / April

Here the price for the Europe Sky / GT will be started 35,741.79 USD

Anyway I will have one as I order allready

Yep, that's what I was thinking.
