So, a quick question here: Was all that hubbub about GM deciding how many allocations of each engine type (V6, V8) completely wrong? As in, GM will send the cars that were ordered instead of forcing an allocation of an engine type?

Chevy's initial emphasis is to get one V6 to each and every dealer for "exposure". After that, they will build our "sold" orders based on a variety of factors including total dealer allocation, readily available parts for specific build combinations, logistics of trucking them around the country, etc... We were told yesterday that the only thing you can count on is that Chevy is doing everything they can to have delivered all of the 10,000+ current sold orders by the end of October. IMO, October is more than safe; I would bet all sold orders will be delivered by the end of August- pure speculation on my part. edit-> There is one thing being "forced". As I said each dealer will receive a V6 first that DOES NOT count against their allocation. However, they MUST also take another V6 as part of their allocation. For the dealership with 20 cars allotted, no big deal. For the dealership with an allotment of 3 that has taken pre-orders for all SS's , one of the orders will not be filled as one MUST BE a V6. |

Another thing to ponder - the pre-sale orders are price protected....
Just an FYI to those who said they may cancel & wait. |

No it wasn't. GM will be building pre-ordered cars as part of allocation. The issue is that the allocation slots for SS's that have been ordered may take a while to get filled by GM. We don't know exactly how long this will be.

This is my first post on this matter, and probably my last. You need to get away from all of us while the fur is flying, or you're going to have a heart attack or a brain aneurysm and never get to enjoy your own personal 2010 Camaro! When you're up to it and have something YOU WANT to add, start your own thread (we'll all still be here eagerly awaiting your return). There is something else I figured out a long time ago. People suck...that's why I love dogs soooooo much!!! And when the time comes for the dog and I to go pick up our SS at the dealership, none of what's been going on here lately will even be remembered! Thank you very much for all the time and energy you've devoted to all of us as well as GM. It really is appreciated.

basically, from what i understand, all dealers will get 2 V6 models at first. one will be a showroom car (not counted towards the allotment) & the other will be a V6 they can custom order. afterwards, dealers will be given more allocations and it will be up to them whether or not to order for their stock or fill customers' pre-orders. if you've already placed an order, you need to have a chat with your dealer about what they're doing with regard to that. V8s will have fewer initial allocations given, but WILL be built on time and they expect to have all the pre-orders filled by next fall.
