Auburn Sky
Hey guys im looking for an auburn sky is300, from what i have read it seems that this color is really rare so im having trouble finding one with a manual transmission, in fact i have never seen one with a manual trans anywhere. I know the color was a 2001 only. Does anyone know if any 5sp auburn sky is300s were made?
Any response would be great, Thanks LexusFiend

Auburn Sky indeed was a nice color....it was my second choice (narrowly) behind Solar Yellow when I bought my 2001. I was sorry to see it go in 2002.Longo, I'm afraid, is right. I don't think you are going to find any original factory Auburn Sky 5-speeds.
The color was dropped before the addition of the 5-speed in 2002.
My advice?......if you really like the color that much (and I agree with you
) go ahead and look for one with the E-Shift. Unless you live in a really isolated area with no stop-and-go driving, you will appreciate having the automatic.
