Yes!
I'm not trying to give GM a pass. But, in light of your quoted post. I'm thinking the Dealers were partially responsible for setting an unrealistic expectation with ordering customers, When GM had been consistent.

MVHO is that both are to blame. GM for not adjusting production numbers, which may not be possible at this phase of the game (I can concede that). And dealers taking orders for V8's and not informing the customer that they my be waiting... For a while.

Either way I'm glad I am waiting to order.

And quite frankly: With everything that GM is dealing with, I'm actually very happy with their ability to keep the Camaro moving forward. I'm thinking big picture here. But if this is the worst that happens while GM ramps up production, I'd say they're doing well. Now, for those that have to wait for the V8, I think you have a valid complaint.
