I'm a little surprised none of you guys had anticipated that this would happen. It was happening back in 1994 when I bought my first new Z28. The dealers get allocations for a certain number of cars but they only fill whatever orders they want to. If you ordered a paint color which they had production problems with, then they would put white cars on "constraint" and someone with another color would get built (possibly taking up your "allocated" car from your dealer). I had to wait 9 months for my 1994 Z28 to get built, and they (cleverly) decided to build it the month before they switched over to 1995's. I said they must make it a 1995 and give me "price protection" and they did. So I received my car in September and drove it for 2 months and had to put it away for the winter... when I could have had it for 6-7 more months if they had not put it on "constraint". |

First of all, realize that if this were normal circumstances; we would not be involved in this right now. And none of us would ever know the difference, because pre-ordering would have started...sometime now.
With that -- don't panic regarding the whole V8 vs V6 thing. Not yet. Last time this topic came up there was so much misinformation and misinterpretation it was dangerous. It's not like they're cancelling the car, just hang in there -- I'm sure we'll get a good reason for it in time. **Realizing this isn't the end of the world...Keeping the faith...waiting patiently.** |

From what im reading, its not the push back of production, its the very limited run of V8's gonna be made out of the gate. |

Don't be so sure, they are going to look at it month to month! That means if your dealership isn't selling other rides, watch out.

In the end this ALL has to do with one acronym.
C.A.F.E. V8 Models hurt the bottom line in CAFE regulations. They simply CANNOT build the cars because we want them... they are FORCED to meet this silly standard or else pay out the nose for not meeting it. GM are a bunch of douchebags for the way they have treated us loyal customers. They should have warned that these things would happen because of CAFE, and they should have done some other things differently with this "preorder" deal and the ABL and HUD fiascos, and they deserve all the ire you guys can give them. But just remember the reason you didn't get an SS isn't by GM's CHOICE... they are forced to focus on V6 models because of CAFE. Nothing else. |
