I hear ya. :banghead: My car isn't scheduled to be built until the week of 5/22...looks like I may get a VIN in the 3000's by then.

My car isn't even scheduled because they can't order an automatic. By the time they finally can order ....and it gets built....and it gets delivered SUMMER WILL BE OVER. ......looks like I may get a VIN from a different vehicle :banghead:

Kind of funny thought. I wonder if there were people sitting around just frustrated at the thought that their taurus wouldn't be here for 2 more months...

Based on my experience, I think some automatics are starting to break free. I was imaged in late March, got stuck on hold shortly after the image was frozen and recently things have started to move - check my signature.

graphite x2

I saw 2 Graphite Sky's in the shipping area today on my way to work. Neither of them can be mine since I ordered silver pearl. Some buddy is not far from their graphite sky's -

my spelling mistakes are terrible -

 

[krazygoat]

One of those is mine (I hope), just stopped by my dealer and he said my Graphite is built and is at status 4B00 and waiting to be shipped.

As far as automatics go, the last two Sky's I have seen, including one that just arrived at my dealer today were automatic Silver Pearls.

The Numbers

So if we run the numbers-

If Saturn still plans on making 10,000 Skys and roughly 2,000 have been made that leaves 8,000 more to go.

At the rate of production for March and April that means it will be roughly 9 months from today to make the last 8,000.

It doesn't seem that production has been up to Saturn's expectations.

However the dealer GM at my Store say Saturn is expecting to produce only 7000 the first year... Also the 2007 SKY will be made until July of 2007. . .

 

[tjfox]

Still doesn't add up 5,000 more Skys in 3 months

 

[brentil]

There is the initial rampup time to get the line to full production speed. First months of production rate aren't very quick compared to full line speed.

The rest of the 5000 cars is meant to be built between now and Dec too. The plan is 10,000 cars a year when at full production swing. So if they've made ~2k cars so far and they're only going to get to ~7k total for this year that's ~5k more cars over about the next 6 months.

Hey Rick, I spoke to my GM and he said my order was actually accepted on 4/4/06. So he estimates arrival late June or Early July. Does this sound about right to you? Order #GGG732
