I think the assumption of everyone here was - they can make about 3500 cars a month, there are 10000 preorders so everyone should have theirs getting shipped out buy they end of May ish, receiving their babies by June at the latest. Pushing it back a month wouldn't have been the end of the world. Making cars that are just going to sit on a dealers lot vs. making SOLD orders is just BS.

I agree with just about everything you posted here.

But, I think that last bit is up for grabs. GM might be right in that once the cars hit the lots the average buyer may swarm to the V6's leaving V8's for the die hard enthusiast. Which we all know in this day and age V8 buyers will be the smaller market.
