I just looked at total sales numbers for the last 6 months and came up with: Solstice 7720, Sky 5578, and MX-5 7164.
 
What was your point again?

I see by those numbers the Kappa is outselling the MX-5 aproximately 2-1 as we approach the end of the 07 model year.....

I see by those numbers that the MX-5 is easily outselling the Sky and that the Solstice is only about 500 units ahead of MX-5. Face it Pao the bloom is off the rose.
 
The GM dealers around here start selling '08s in July or August. Are the Kappas on a different cycle?

no....probably a bit liberal on the end of the 07 model year...the last allocations are the first week in May for a early July delivery, so still approx 3 months left in the model year.........then the 08 allocations kick in....

Below are the in stock units:
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.

tonneau cover ques by spoom

Anyone here purchase & get some use out of the optional tonneau cover? Just wondering if it would be worth the $ or be such a pain to use that it would stay tossed in the back using what trunk space there is. I also notice Pontiac has a first & second version, difference seems to be how it fits by the radio antenna. I haven't seen any model yrs. listed as needing one version or the other. Don't need bird poop/UV ray theory, just would appreciate info from those who actually have one on their Solstice

teh cover isnt meant to be used while driving.....and it has several snap connectors that require drilling into the body to install it......the difference in the two is rounded edges and the antenna fit for some reason...no difference in model years......if you want a cover to protect it....while the top is down...look here:

thanks pao. It looks like it would be simpler and quicker to just pop the top up than use that cover, and I don't like the idea of drilling to install the tonneau-that always seems to let rust get a foothold. Do you have either item yourself, if so would you do it again?

I have neither....have seen the tonneau..and most as you mentioned are simply hesitant to drill holes in their new car....the other one from kappasphere is relatively new...a few folks over at the solsticeforum have it....and have made on complaints about it.....the issue to me is where do you store it....

I realize there isnt much room in the trunk but any of the tonneau covers can fit in the trunk of your solstice/sky... They really dont take up much space... You should check out www.kappasphere.com
