The way GM stated it was:
The guide covers anticipated Camaro Coupe production from the start of regular production (currently scheduled for mid-February 2009) through approximately Q3 2009
So, it really does sound as though the preorders are IT through Q3. It's just a little hard to believe that the dealers that have presold their production guide(preorder allotments) to us guys will really have no lot cars 'til late Sept. '09, when production as well as sales to the general public are starting in the 1st quarter of '09. But, hey, I really hope we're reading their statement correctly, which means we all get our cars sooner, without having to be mixed in with the production of dealer stock cars!
