2009 SKY Changes [Rumor has it...] - Page 2

Standard Bluetooth sounds good - although I know someone with it and when talking on his phone as he approaches the car - the bluetooth in the car detects his phone and takes over the audio before he gets to the car (a BMW).

Black Cherry...mmmmmmm good.

When Googling Sky, there appears to be a "Carbon Flash SE" version. Anyone know anything about this? Just a color choice? Any photos?

GM recently released pics of the Sky in the new red color and new wheel design!! I think the wheels are very nice but prefer the flat spokes of the current model. The color looks amazing! Click on the link to download high-res versions.

Thanks for the link. Love the new color, can't wait to see it in person. The wheels don't look too much different than the current ones.

That is one sweet lookin Sky! Does anybody know when the '09's will be popping up at the dealerships??

parrothall · 06-12-2008, 03:31 PM

I hear not until September.

skyturbo/fiero3800sc · 06-13-2008, 03:28 PM

Perfect! Maybe by then they will have that new GM Tune available. Can't wait till Sept. '09 Ruby Red Redline w/Gm Tune, maybe get the RPI down pipe and exhaust and a Hahn Intercooler. Should be close to 300hp @ the wheels!

mbeardsley · 06-13-2008, 05:13 PM

If they follow the normal schedule, the early '09s should start arriving the first week of August 08.

I got one of the first '08s, and I picked it up the first week of August 07.

skyturbo/fiero3800sc · 06-13-2008, 05:35 PM

Ok, I can't wait till August now! I'm guessing the Ruby Red is going to be a popular choice, so hopefully Saturn of Ventura will have some come August. I bought an '08 Redline Techno Gray. I loved the car and the color, just not in the sun. Was too dull. I'm hoping the Ruby Red has some metallic flakes in it.

Ruby Red has an outrageous amount of metal flake in it.... Saw it at MECCAII.

well damn now I can't wait till August! I think for all convertibles they should show up at the dealer's first week of June. Weather starts to get really nice, and you have riding with the top down on your mind. Kinda like they do for clothing, you start seeing shorts and tank tops when the weather is nice outside. Would be good for sales!

Should be sooner than that. I took delivery of my 08 Red Line July 13th 07 and mine was the second one sold at my retailer.

Just found a dealer option book that says both visors have a mirror now. That's nice!
