you didn't ask the right questions when you placed the order. It is not GM's fault. It's important to find out ahead of time if they had an allocation and also minimal searching on this site would have provided a lot of answers as well as order tracking for you to lessen your frustration. I only learned about allocation from this site, and as soon as I learned about it, went to dealer to find out how many per month they get, and how many were at 1100 in front of me. Only then could I guess my wait. The workbench # should have been given to you the day you placed the order, IMHO. EVERY dealer has access to the system to track where all their orders are at. If they are telling you otherwise, bolt.

It would be nice if all the dealers told us what we needed to know, but many are unscrupulous, which is not what Oshawa/GM is. It's a new and unique process to order this car and I only fault GM for not anticipating/planning better how to contend with unsurpassed appeal for this car.
