Replying to: steves5 (Feb 06, 2007 5:00 pm) the fender and panel Im sure are common to both the 06 and 07 models...there are parts in the system....try a google for gm parts....and you will find several sites that offer replacement oem parts.... Also this isnt a complete off the rack car.the kappa body itself is molded steel..and many of the chassis welds are hand done...vice pure...assembly line....it is also a low volume car...less than 15K year...as compared to others that have a much higher production volume......so take that into consideration as well

Replying to: pao (Feb 07, 2007 9:51 am) but the parts manager must be willing to code the order correctly.... The only thing this GM customer needs to take into consideration is that he is being forced to ask questions on the internet to make sure his dealer managers are doing all they can to get his parts, and they are not. Either they are incompetent, uncaring or a combination of both.

I'm very impressed to see the Solstice do so well in the federal roll over ratings. "NHTSA said it had completed frontal, side-impact and rollover ratings for 63 of 70 vehicles from the 2007 model year. In rollover ratings, three vehicles received the top score of five: the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky convertibles and the Mazda6 four-door with side air bags" |

Took a look at inventory numbers for February Sky 1300 Solstice 4600 MX-5 6300 S2000 2000 Looks like either GM cannot keep up with demand (doubtful for the middle of the winter) or Mazda is really having a hord time selling. For as many dealers the Pontiac has compared to Mazda the MX-5's must be sitting enmasse.

Replying to: pao (Feb 22, 2007 8:43 am) The GM dealers around here start selling '08s in July or August. Are the Kappas on a different cycle?

Replying to: midwesttrader (Feb 22, 2007 8:21 am) Sky 1300 Solstice 4600 MX-5 6300 S2000 2000 I guess my point was that Mazda has a lot of stock out there while Pontiac and Saturn does not. Not sure if I had a point but was wondering why. What is interesting is that in 2006 sales we get: Solstice.....19710 Sky...........8676 MX-5.........16897 If you look at how MX-5/Miata did in '05 they sold 9800 units. So the entire low cost roadster market rose significantly. This is very typical in the auto market and other markets also. New blood may scare the current players but often the new marketing brings in plus volume for all. |
