Title: When will HS add the 2008 Models to the website?
Post by: Gomboman on January 23, 2008, 02:05:33 am

Does anyone know when the Mother-ship will release the new spa line to the HS website? I bet the code monkeys are working full time on this as we speak. I can't wait.

Actually, there are talented Code Monkeys and Code Monkey-ettes. And yes, they work very hard.

But they have never been known to get the new stuff up right away. However, most of the changes to the HotSpring line have already been in place for awhile. The new color is pretty cool-lookin. Sort of like black, only with attitude.

March is usually when the websites are all 100%.

Chas, the Super Grandee looks very impressive. Is this for real or is it a Term Photoshop creation? Will two Wavemaster® 9200's power all those new Jets? I like the Bling look.......

Oh that's exactly the way it will look. To Terminator.

Late in the day.

It will have just one pump - but it will be driven by it's own miniature nuclear reactor. Expect this spa to retail slightly higher than the standard Grandee.

Of course, you won't need to install any lighting in the area, nor will you have to remove any snow buildup within a few feet of the tub, which could save you quite a bit right there.
 ;D ;D ;D

My HS dealer has a couple of the 08 models now--no Super Grandee though. I love the vertical siding. It makes the spa look much more modern.

Is it true that the old school siding has been discontinued?

Yes.  The old siding is gone.

That Super Grandee looks great!!  Maybe someone should forward that to someone in Product Management at Watkins.

The Super Grandee even looks too good for Terminator's photo-shop abilities. I really thought it was the real deal. Help me, I'm a little slow. Real or Fake?

Hey, this is the first time we have ever done this with a spa?  ;D

It's a special edition for Texas and Florida only. ;)

Well, I've got 2 herniated discs in my neck, so that new Grandee would work 3 times better than last year's model, right?   :D
