I have been reading this forum for about a month now but this is my first post. My local dealer is supposed to get 4 sky's when they are released. My 500.00 deposit put me 2nd on the list to order when Saturn opens up ordering. Anyway, they called me today to tell me that do to a miscommunication that they had a red sky sitting in the show room and that it would only be there till 8am tomorrow morning. So I take off from work early and get to the dealer. I took many pics that I will post in a bit.
It was suprising at how little the sales people knew about the sky. I was telling them more about the car than they were telling me! Of course, all my knowledge has been from this forum.
about 5mins into my picture taking the sales rep asked if I wanted to sit in it but it had to be quick cause noone is supposed to touch the car. The transport driver that brought the car was napping at the local hotel and the managers were in a meeting so they opened the door. I jumped in the drivers seat and realized how cool this car really is. It feels fast. I put my hand on the shifter and told the sales rep to take my pic. As she was trying to figure out my camera I heard yelling coming from the back of the dealership. Uh oh, managers meeting is over and they spotted me!! they asked me to please get out very carefully, so I did. They weren't angry at me but extremely angry at the sales rep. Once I got out they took a cotton cloth and wiped all the fingerprints off the door handle so the transport driver wouldn't know.
They were very touchy about the car, wouldn't open the hood or the trunk for me but I have pics of the outside which you all have already seen.
Sitting in the sky really made me want it even more. To make a long story longer, it was alot of fun and I can't wait to drive this thing for real!!!
