Ok, so we're told by several places, even GM that the new Saturn Sky will be "under $25,000," so $24,999 in otherwords. Ok, but why does the Sky get to command a $5,000 premium over the Solstice? Well, lets see if we can figure that out.
Here are things listed as being on the base Sky that we believe are options on the Solstice. (Remember all these values are guestimates.)
Power windows, locks and exterior mirrors - $475
Extended-range remote keyless entry - ???
Cruise control - $385
Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS - $400.00
Steering Wheel, 3 spoke, leather with cruise control - ???
Having cruise control standard implies the better steering wheel with cruise control is standard too so I added that as well.
Everything else is listed as "available" which I'm guessing means 'option.'
I'm not sure but the wheels might be considered the upgraded Solstice wheels, if so that's another $1000. Problem here is I'm only seeing maybe $1500 worth of option upgrades, $2500 if the wheels are the better ones.
So why am I paying $2500-$3500 more for a Saturn, besides looks?
Maybe I'm missing some options or something, let me know guys and well see if we can solve this mystery.
