I meant the 2006 PRODUCTION run, not the cars made in 2006.

Does anyone have a good number of typical yearly runs for the platform (Sky & Solstice), once the slow start up period is over? Are they capable of running double(triple) shifts ?

Well since the SKY is not even going to be a 2006 model it would be hard for the Redline to be one!

The full lineup will be avalible in MY 2007, unless you belive the rumors of a Supercharged version in addition to the Turbocharged one in MY 2008

just had to put my 2 cents in. I went to my dealer to put my deposit down and they gave me a reciept for a 2006 sky, I'll be the only one in the world to own one, I was pretty persistent that it was a 2007 but they didn't budge on it so I'm like fine write what you want as long as I get my sky.

Published figures are 20,000 Solstices, 10,000 Skys and 1000 Opels a year, the production is limited by the Hydroformed panels take longer to produce, and the hand welding of the spaceframes also takes longer... unless they open a new production line including the forms for hydroforming panels that is all they will produce.
