Huge!!! 2008 Model Info!!!

Just got the 2008 order guide and there are NO MAJOR changes except a standard Tire Monitoring system on all 2008 Sky's both base & RL. Some minor features are now standard...

There are no tranny changes, no color changes!!!


I was really expecting the Daytona Orange Color and possibly the new tranny options...

Here is the official order guide!

Hardly a difference... Old code for Silver Graphite was 42U and the new Techno Gray code is 75U...

Not much of a diff on the color chip...

OK you said there are NO CHANGES
Yet:
These existing options will be STANDARD in 2008:
1. Limited slip
2. Stabilitrack
3. Enhanced Radio/CD (no more basic radio)
4. Leather steering wheel
5. XM radio

This feature is new in 2008:
1. Digital Wireless Tire Pressure Monitor

Also, people will be able to order any interior/exterior color combination not currently offered for a small override fee (include red/black interior with a red exterior, which has not been possible till now).

Regarding exterior colors, in 2008, Techno Grey (available on the Aura) will replace the Silver Graphite color, and a special edition Sky will be announced very soon in a color they are calling Carbon Flash, a variation of black.


Lastly, Kevin said that they will no longer be offering the leather shift knob as standard, that the shift knob will match the interior (ie. leather with a leather package).

True the only new feature is the tire pressure -- but (and I checked your official guide and there ARE changes:
These existing options will be STANDARD in 2008:
1. Limited slip
2. Stabilitrack
3. Enhanced Radio/CD (no more basic radio)
4. Leather steering wheel
5. XM radio

So it was just miss-communication.

I personally don't care about the interior changes. I have always been big on finding out the EXTERIOR changes to "date" a car. That is the worst only one time I had that happen and I ended up selling it and going for the next year lol.

Yup, now you can order the color combos the way you want.... have to pay an additional cost though....

So you guys can now order a Chili Pepper red with Red leather like us Canadians!!

Can the dealer order now?

Does this mean the dealer can order a 2008 now? Does he have to wait until prices are available?

We already discussed the order guide and changes last week in the 2008 Sky thread. This is old news.

Yep...

ONLY SOLD ORDERS can choose the over-ride and order any AVAILABLE color combo that was not previously available all this for an additional charge which has NOT been announced yet!!!

Example:

Silver Pearl with Tan/Black interior and tan top.
Sunburst Yellow with Red/Black Interior & Black Top.
Etc!!!

The Techno Gray color that is replacing the Silver Graphite is a much darker Grey color and not as "metallic." I'm currently mad that I was not able to choose the Chili Pepper Red with the Red/Black Interior when I originally ordered but I feel good that I chose the Silver Graphite since is very likely it will end up a one year only color!!! An even more unique Sky!!!

There is no pricing information on the 2008 SKY as of yet but I expect this to come in the next month or so.

Regards,

BA...

One thing that looks different, the RL gets a higher capacity alternator than the 2.4 roadster. It that true for the 07?

Well at least there won't be a major price increase, maybe a few hundred for the tire monitoring.

Was BLUESTONE color on the official order guide when it came out in 2006 for the 2007 models?
