2009 SKY Changes [Rumor has it...]
Rumor has it... the following changes are coming for 2009:

Evening Blue (48U) replaces Midnight Blue (25U).
Evening Blue looks to be a slightly lighter dark blue and a little "bluer" than the really dark midnight blue we had.

Ruby Red (79U) is a new available color. (Chili Pepper Red is still available)
Correction: This color is the same that is currently available in the 2008 Vue!!!

Bluetooth will be standard in the RedLine model and optional in the regular Roadster.

As you already know, Bluestone will be eliminated along with the replaced Midnight Blue.

Rumor has it that these are all the changes...

Regards,

BA...

Mike,

I have the color chart, still looks like a bright red but metallic and with a slight pearl effect with a little burgundy hint...

Hard to tell from a swatch 1" x 1" big...

I was told on the Sol side that it will be similar to the "Merlot" Red .... which is not quite the Black Cherry/Burgundy I had hoped for 1st picture but close

2nd picture - GM "Merlot" exterior color

Mike, if you like that Cherry Metallic, here is what you do. Send the car to JPM to make the center of the seats and door panels that color, then go to a great body shop and have strips to match up the center!.... NICE!!!

yeah - and I thought the Brazen color for the solstice would be that pretty copper color - I cringed when I saw it in person....and I don't believe there's enough sunlight in the world to make it look pretty

The 48U color code is that same bright, dark blue that is on the Hummer.
They call it "All Terrain Blue".

Maybe, but you better make sure that you can still get the red interior with this "new red".

The red interior is a must- the longer I have it the more I like it. Well worth the silly $400 upcharge.

Ruby Red...Isn't that the color of the new Astra? If so, it's on list of favorites

Correction!!!
Hey folks, I just realized that the Ruby Red that will be available in the SKY is the same exact Red now available in the Vue!!!

Its a good looking color. The Vue in that color has been a very popular choice...

DOH!!!

It's been a long day!!!

Regards,

BA...
