Steve,

Well said and thanks!

What I wrote originally: For What It's Worth, given that the plant is currently shut down, and it's highly unlikely that it will ever produce another car, sales of solstices and skys were up for the second straight month:

Edit July 4: According to Flash's Owner, and GMlinedog, the plant will reopen on July 13, in order to build out 2009's ordered cars. Expect it to be another 300 coupes or so.

For the month of June:

Solstice Sales = 939
Sol production = 140

Sky Sales = 435
Sky Production = 0

According to a couple of different reports here on the Solsticeforum, Opel GT and Saturn Sky production has been completed, and Pontiac Solstice production is finished as of June 12.

Here are the total production numbers I have calculated since day 1 of production back in 2005:

Opel GT: 7,517
Saturn Sky: 34,227
Pontiac Solstice: 64,543

GM also published that the following 2010 models have been produced during CY2009 (these are not included in the above numbers):
Opel GT: 2
Saturn Sky: 8
Pontiac Solstice: 20

I will update these numbers next month if any of them change.

Dave, my last communication from the plant was they are still scheduled to come back up on July 13, and buildout during the last week of July, closing on the 31st. The line is still full of cars, so at minimum there will be several hundred yet to finish.

The final totals can be calculated:
65,724 Solstice
34,415 Sky
07,519 Opel GT
107,658 total Kappa
