So how was Downer's Grove Event??
1 - 20 of 26 Posts
We just got home...only live 30 minutes away (it's where I bought my Sky). I posted pics in another thread that I started. 
The party was great...we had an excellent turnout for the event...I believe the count was 21 Skys! Every color was represented except for White. It was nice to finally meet some of the regulars here on the forum. All I can say is...what a great bunch of folks!!! :thumbs:

The organizers did a great job.....it was hot but so were the cars. I was glad to see all the colors and was pleasantly surprised at how hot the green color looked
It was a great meet today - so neat to see that many SKYs in one place when I still have not seen another SKY on the road yet around Peoria!
The folks that put this together did a great job, and I hope we have many more meets to come!! :yesnod: :grouphug:

It was great
When I drove out this morning I was think what if no one shows up. When I drove in at a 7:45, I was pleasantly surprised to find 4 Skys already there. so many great people met today. We will be working to get a Club together so we can have more events and get better with each time.
The turn out was great and learned for the next one. I think we will get even bigger here in the Midwest after people see the pics posted.
As the day went on it really did feel like a family reunion, nice conversation.
A plus is the two people that hold the fate of my Redline order are estatic. Wayne the owner of Six Saturn Dealers said this went above and beyond his expectations. The Saturn Regional Rep. said this was a great thing and the SKyforum people showed there strength here.
Thank you all for making this a special time.

No I guess didn't think
He was very assertive in his answers, and I love to look in someones eyes as they speak he did not hesitate with any answers. i found it most interesting that he said the model year ends in December and 2008 models start in January. The numbers just makes sense. That would be 3-4 Redlines per dealer if allocations were equal for the 2007 Model year. But I'm sure they will go to 2008 list automatically. I would assume if they are entered into system the system would automatically tally prelim orders and when all 2007 are accounted for it would go to prelims for 2008.

Hmm...not necessarily, Scott. If you go by how the Solstice orders are done...if an order is not picked up for model year 2007, then it must be re-entered into the system as a 2008 order...it does not automatically switch over into a 2008 order. The GM has to enter the order all over again. Again...this is how I understand them to be doing the Solstice, so I would imagine it's the same process for the Sky as well. BTW...Wayne promised me the first 2008 R/L at Downers Grove...
:willy: He said he will let me know when they are ready to order...thinks that production will begin in January, but we shall see. I'm not in any real hurry anyways, as I've got my regular Sky for now. :thumbs:

This Model Year thing has me puzzled...
If you followed the SKY from the beginning, it was going to come out in early 2006. Then, at one point, Saturn announced that it would come out as a 2007 SKY. Normally the "next year" models come out in September or so... With the first real deliveries not coming out until March or April, that left only 5 months or so of SKYs before the 2007s hitting in September, so with less than half a year why not make the first SKYs come out as 2007 models? It made sense.
But now, if it is true that the Model Year will cut over in January, you're talking about introducing a 2008 car in January of 2007 - "nine months early." If you stay on that pattern, and change the model year again the following January, all 2008 models will be built in 2007, and the 2009 will be built in 2008. That does not seem to make sense.
Why would Saturn want to change to the 2008 model "nine months early?" Styling changes? Option changes? Or, dare I suggest... Price Changes?

Just curious...was the count at 21 b4 I came back with mine, or am I in that number...Sounds like I missed a whole lot of happening in between. Totally missed the talk with the GM exec.
