I was just asking because I read on another forum about some possible changes for the 2008 model. Just curious if there was some info out on it or not.

I heard a rumor about hearing a rumor that just maybe the Sky will get a new color next year, akso heard maybe a hard top but that seems fairly far fetched.........

I know they are looking into the orange for the GXP I don't know about the Red Line. But no descision has been made yet. They were also looking into the hard top. But it will be awhile before we know. I don't think it will be spring because they said that the Solstice and Red Line will have a special color ever year. So that would be model year.

Just speculating from GM's perspective, I doubt that they will make a hardtop or for that matter any radical changes in the near future. My logic says that they are getting all the orders that the Maryland plant production can full fill. As demand eventually becomes satisfied, they may introduce a hardtop and some design changes. I don't see that happening for several years. as long as this car is backlogged, I don't look for any major changes.

Ooooooh!!! I LOVE that orange color! Too bad my wife would probably still want her yellow. Plus that would mean losing our price protection, and having to wait longer, etc. etc. Oh well. Maybe after one of us wins the lottery or that McDonald's Monopoly million dollar thingie we'll pick up an orange His SKY to match my wife's yellow Her SKY. LOL

Will be interesting to see what new stuff they introduce though.

By the Time you find all the McD's pieces to get that prize money,... you'd be so big you 'd be taking up two Kappa Seats. Leaving the Shifter in an unwanted Crevise.
