Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Critics love the SKY's racy and attractive exterior design, but find its hard-to-operate manual convertible soft-top a major inconvenience.

• "Certainly, the Sky got a lot of admiring attention during our time with it in Southern California. To our eyes, the Sky has a bit of a baby Corvette look about it -- in the headlights, the front fender vents, and the sharp fender peaks." -- Automobile Magazine
• "The Sky's exterior styling, with the Corvette-like saber scars on its cheeks, the beveled, refractory chrome accents all around and other visual wickedness, has a honed and hardened raciness the slightly edemic Solstice doesn't." -- Los Angeles Times
• "Although their choice of form over function saddled the SKY with some significant limitations, at least GM's designers knocked the styling right out of the park. It looks great." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "Top down, the twin fairings of the trunklid cast a striking profile." -- Car and Driver
• "The top requires standing outside the car to manipulate its folding mechanism, rear-roof pegs, and trunklid -- hardly convenient." -- Consumer Guide
• "Dropping the top requires the driver to unlatch it at the windshield, push a button in the glovebox and fold the whole thing down into the rear deck before forcibly slamming it shut. Graceful it's not -- especially when compared to the Miata's one-arm operation from the comfort of the driver seat." -- Edmunds
