Not sure if I would have ordered if I was told I had to wait a year or more. I hear they're well worth the wait though.
If there's anymore significant snowfall before I pick up my car, I'll have it delivered on a flatbed truck/trailer to my shop where it'll be stored 'til spring.
Snow, sand , salt and -30 C won't go over well with a convertible!
Expecting 11 C tomorrow which should melt what little snow is left.MAYBE I'll get to drive it for a few days before winter really hits!

Very very
for you. I don't know what would be worse: sitting on a waiting list with no Sky or having a Sky and waiting for spring?
I think the base model sales are on about the same scale here (~10 each for the 2 dealers). Considering Vancouver gets snow maybe one or two days a year compared to "Winterpeg", it just blows my mind that they would send one there first. (I don't hear you complaining, though!
) You would think they would want the car seen in public and not tucked away for the winter months. And supposedly the Richmond dealer had the highest convertible sales last year (although they must be counting Saab because did Saturn make any convertibles before the Sky?) so there goes that theory.
