So that means that we shouldn't expect to see our Sky's until May or June. I don't think I can last that long.

I wonder if there will be a similar contest in Canada?

Not true, look at other contests. The free stuff always comes after the initial allotments. So this means that by April dealers will have the SKY.

NO! It does not say that, you need to read some contracts before you can inderstand this. It says "Factory Standard" equipment, this can be interprited in two ways. One it is the "base" model, or two it is a "loaded" model with no custom accessories. Second it says ARV, that includes Taxes, and other surcharges you have to pay at the dealer. Sticker should be $25,000 before taxes.

They may also be aiming fairly high on their estimate so as to not undervalue the vehicle. Plus I bet the Yahoo package is worth at least $500 in value on that price too.

That Yahoo Music Enabled Package must be pretty expensive...
