i agree. and then you wonder why they are going bankrupt

CamaroScotty 03-12-2009 12:45 PM

Now add the duration :)

pinkcamaro10 03-12-2009 12:46 PM

ugh... seriously???

undrcop2010 03-12-2009 12:49 PM

I wonder if they are doing this to try an get some people to pony up the extra money as been thought b4 on here for the SS....but in doing that you may also lose potential buyers of the V6 who have pre-ordered all the way back on Oct13, makes no sense. I think well start seeing them being built soon enough though......I Hope

GothamCamaro 03-12-2009 01:01 PM

I aint got no ponies to pony up with so they won't be getting me to buy the SS cuz of this "constraint" on V6.

I'm fine but come June 1st and no Camaro, then I'll start posts like other V6 pre-owners have been typing up the last month. I'm betting I won't have to, I'm patient. :wave:

joepitt 03-12-2009 01:02 PM

GM has said all along the V6 will be the bread and butter of the Camaro. Figuring half the pre-orders are V6, say 6,000 and there is a $7,000 difference between a 2LT and 2SS, that is only $42 million. Lots to us, but not in the overall picture for GM. And remember, that is gross, not additional profit. I'm not happy about the contraint, nor do I understand it, but I don't think they are doing it for the money.

Rallyman6 03-12-2009 01:08 PM

I just wish my dealer got the release allocation for my car.

Arioch 03-12-2009 01:09 PM

GM really screwed up on the V6 dealer thing, they should have started building those after the preorders. Whomever made that decision should be fired.

Rodrunner 03-12-2009 01:10 PM

As I think Scotty was implying, Pink, it's just for one week, seven short days.
It might be lifted next week; I'd guess the week after next.

fad1 03-12-2009 01:12 PM

Sux for v6 owners :(

Moonsault 03-12-2009 01:12 PM

We know the bulk of orders are for V8's, so would it REALLY be so bad for GM to show they care about their customers, work around the constraint, and produce the sold order V6's? Would it really cause so many problems?

i aint got no ponies as well...and it just gives me a little more time to get more money for the down payment

spi 03-12-2009 01:19 PM

i just want them to get me my camaro

a6pk2go 03-12-2009 01:41 PM

I called my dealer today and will go in and make my final decision tomorrow. I thought if I went ahead and went from a 2LT RS to a 1SS I would jump up a little but he didn't think so. I will just have to wait like the rest of the V6 people and HOPE for the best. It made not be build the first month or two but as long as I get it by summer I will be happy. I'm not waiting until Oct and you can mark me down on that one.

I switched from 2LT to 2SS two days ago. Got an email this morning that they got a consensus and my order will go in in a week or two.

Rodrunner 03-12-2009 05:26 PM

^^^That's one way to make everything be alright. Ken Dixon got 2 this concensus too, so mine will also be going in pretty soon. I think you'll thoroughly enjoy the extra V8 ponies. :thumbup: Congrats!

ezlock83 03-12-2009 06:00 PM

I am thinking since they said that v6's would be under constraint for a month because of the 1 per dealer thing. If thats so next week when they release constraints it will be a month from march 16th that those orders will be built so lets hope next thursday we will find out there is no longer a v6 constraint. If not i am going to be very angry.

Ok, so are these march builds being made in april? Or are they actual april builds? Guess what I'm saying is, are these march builds getting in the way of my april build :paddle: ? If so, move aside please :mad0260:

franknbeans 03-12-2009 06:16 PM

No, Sean, the production goes in order, week after week. Dealers are allowed to submit orders each Thursday - Saturday for production in a future week. The timetable is:

Submit-------------Build
Mar/12-14............Apr/6-10
Mar/19-21............Apr/13-17
Mar/26-28............Apr/20-24
Apr/ 2-5...............Apr/27-5/1

Did your dealer get any cars this last concensus on March 6th? If so, they can be submitted, as allowed by GM, from March 12th to April 5th for production in April. Your car being submitted by the dealer also depends on your priority number, #1 thru #5,10,20.

Wow, now I'm really confused. This is not how I though it all worked. When they said March builds and Aprils builds, I asumed that they would be built in those months, not just submitted. So technically, no customer cars will actually be built in March?

So here's my settup..

I am #3. 1 & 2 were picked for March build/submission. Is there a chance both 1&2 would be taken for submission in the March 12-14 period (I'll call my dealer for this info). If so, mine could be submitted in the March 19-21 period?

Yes they will, he just didn't go back far enough in listing dates. There were orders pulled in Feb, mine included, that will be built this month.

Well, I do feel a little better. Let me see if I got this correct. If I have an april build, at the earliest, I could hear about it this week (March 12-14). Or later if it's going to be built later in april. Being the first one on the april concensus, I would think I would be an early build (as far as the others at my dealership goes at least.)

My only reall worry is, does the dealer have to actually enter his weekly submissions by hand, or does the system automaticly take the orders in the priority the dealer has them in?

Only my dealer can answer the rest I quess.

pinkcamaro10 03-12-2009 07:38 PM

I swear the more i read about consensus and allocations and such. the more confused i get.

Let me see if I can sum it up for you. GM is going to produce cars as fast as they can. Unfortunately for us, they can't make 11,000 in the first week. So they will make as many as they can each week. And each week, they will some methodology (only slightly less complex than decoding the human genome) to distribute those cars to the various dealers. The part that you care about is that if you pre-ordered there is a good chance that you will have your car by summer. And if we weren't such fanatics and if this was any other car, you wouldn't even know that this crap (consensus, allocations, etc) existed, cause you would just go to the dealer and buy a car off the lot.

Now I'm even more confused....concensus?....allocation?....methodolo gy?....human genome?....oy vay!!! I think I just may be with Pink at the Toyota dealer any day now. That Yaris is really sportie, don't you think?



P.S. - The genome decoding was a perfect analogy. :thumbsup:
