Default saturn sky = opel GT

?
i'm so confused
are they the EXACT same car just different sheet metal? it looks like the engine is different too. So is it just the same chasis?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_Sky
The styling for the Sky, penned by Franz von Holzhausen, is based on the Vauxhall VX Lightning concept car and the European Opel Speedster. The aggressive styling has garnered praise as a welcome departure from the typical, conservative "Saturn look".

In fact, since GM's Saturn division will be sharing models with Opel, the GT is in fact their version of the Saturn Sky. The car will be replacing the Opel Speedster in the European lineup.

There is no Opel in the USA and there is no Saturn in Europe. Hence why you could not have one model.
