My dealer is keeping his V6 and it will not be sold untill Sep. They turned down $5000 over MSRP. Will only take your name and will call down the list on the day it can be sold.

My dealer didn't even get his V6 show car yet, so he's in the same boat as you.....delayed. GM didn't do him any favors, either.

This original conspiracy theory is Epic Fail.
It's like a random dealer story. |

Wow....... Apparently you don't care for people questioning you......or remarking on your actions. I suspect you're referring to me--when you write: ".....Instead of industry coming on here to learn about customers expectations and react to it in a manner that would show leadership, innovation and professionalism, we have industry coming on here and ranting about customer behavior or the apparent lack of appreciation for someone who afterall, did what they are paid to do...." and that's fine -- I have broad shoulders. And.. IF you WERE referring to me, get your facts straight, please.....because you don't. I think you've made it clear that everyone's allowed to have opinions - and I think Greenrail is only expressing his - Your quote "....If you keep trying to change the world, the only one who is going to be upset is yourself...." could be applied to many people..........including yourself. Because we (GM) cannot grant every wish does not mean we're not customer focused. Because people don't want to wait doesn't mean we don't listen. Because there is no way we can build all of the sold orders at once does not mean we don't listen. Because some people on this site (and others) tell 'half truths' does not mean we do not listen. Because a customer put a deposit down at a dealership knowing that their car was number 15 of 8 allocated does not mean we do not listen. We could have taken the easy way out and shipped the cars - and then let the dealers repair them - that's not the right thing to do. We could have gone dark and not spoken of when the first cars would come off the line. (by the way - -one of the many 'panic du jours' was when we delayed Start of Production - lots of conjecture and gnashing of teeth -- but see, we knew we needed to do that. In retrospect, we should have delayed SORP even longer -- regardless of the shreiks and threats...... What I WOULD say is that perhaps you need to listen a little closer to the answers you're being given....... The sad part is that this was all predicted about two years ago - several people have sent me PMs mentioning that I made the prediction at a few Camaro/Firebird shows -- saying that this exact thing would happen - that people would be upset that they can't get their new Camaro RIGHT NOW....... Show me one other car or truck that is 'hot' that has not faced the same problem. (by the way -- the Solstice Program was a lottery -- it was not a 'pre-order' program.....) Hylton - we both want Camaro Enthusiasts to be happy -- no one has worked harder than me to see that through -- however, you do not have all of the facts when you start demanding things. I really hate to post something like this -- but I cannot sit back and see the things you write and not respond. ...and Bob Lutz never worked for Lexus -- that was Jim Perkins. |

Fbod-
You take a lot of the brunt on this site...You shoulder much more than you should... I and many many others on this site offer you much respect for doing so. I hope that some people will realize that it is not yourself that should be the focus of the frustration. Without you we would not even have an opportunity to buy a Camaro, or to even discuss this fine piece of machinery. I and many others applaud you, and hope that this all calms down for you and for GM soon enough. |
