2007 Saturn Sky

Sloppy and indifferent are the key words when discussing the Saturn Sky's build quality. Our list of flaws is long, so we'll highlight the most egregious in this space. Inside, the driver's side window seal and the lower left dash panel were seemingly slapped into place with no regard for actually trying to compete with the Honda S2000 or Mazda MX-5 Miata. Outside, we discovered a huge gap disparity between the chrome grille garnish and the hood on either side. Protective plastic from the assembly or shipping process was sticking out from the seal between the headlight and fender, the right side of the rear decklid sat higher than the body work, and the greenhouse weatherstripping didn't fit well. Don't GM's assembly line workers understand that if they continue to let quality like this slip out the door that market share is going to continue to decline?
