Now it’s true that sales are usually a percentage - so the amount of cars is not important (say 90% of cars MFG are the sales goals - so 9000 Sky but 18,000 Solstice). However, someone made an assumption that Solstices would outsell SKYs (most likely since there are SO many more Pontiac dealers as compared to Saturn) so that could be a problem in teh long run. It is teh long run that it is all about though.
I would imagine that the second year of SKY will see slower sales as well (will it reach sales goals??? I donno). In fact both models will decline to about 5 years. Then the truth will be told - Return buyers! Will they join new buyers and be replacing the 2006-7-8 Sky/Solstices? That is when you find out how successful your car is.


Right, No model can go on forever! Just know you have a one of kind vehicle. Get one now while u can!
