Default Changes going on at Sonic?

If this has been addressed already my apologizes.

I noticed that Sonic's website is rather "plain" compared to what it used to be. It was really 'flashy" with the music and great photos etc... Gave the brand the appearance of being a series offshore boat brand (not that it truly isn't). The old site (I felt at least) personified the "Florida" offshore scene. Further, it appears that all the profiles of the personel have been removed. Are they all gone? Has Sonic's ownership/ management changed drastically? Is this website just temporary? Maybe I'm the only one that percieves this.
Thanks

I don't think anything has changed but the web site. I think the corporate owners @ CSI are cost cutting.

Cost cutting????? That may not be something good to say if I am thinking about a new Sonic...

I'm not one of those stuck on a brand flockers like some!

That 38 is one sweet package! Checked it out and test drove it a couple years back, it's a real nice boat.

Ginger would look good sportin' a little gold Lightning Bolt chain! Step on over here to the dark side, would give the Fountain haters a whole new target! And me a little break!!!

You in the Bay for the 4th?

Sonic did just open up a new showroom facility and I know they have been super busy with that. Lolli is excellent to deal with but I always have a hard time getting answers back from Bruce that she doesn't know. I know they are much smaller scale than someone like outerlimits but I beleive Bruce spends a ton of personal time on the builds and not sitting in the office.
