NO ONE should have got an impression they would get a car by a certain time - that was never promised.
AMEN. You guys are like a bunch of cry babies. You had to be the first to have something, had to be the first to order, and you keep throwing your number in line at your local dealer around like that somehow entitles you to something. Guess what...it doesn't. You will be the guinea pigs and I've been saying that since day one. This is just the first sting of many and you should come to expect it if you wanna be first. It comes with the territory. I've been there done that myself and learned to wait and avoid the frustration. If you're going to get this upset over a 4 week delay, you should cancel your order.

You guys who have to be first need to set your expectations accordingly. Further delays are quite likely, and should be expected. This is a brand new design on a brand new line. There are going to be problems pre and post delivery. Set that expectation now and accept it to avoid more personal frustration and you'll be better for it.

Me, I've decided from day one to wait until model year number 2. I'll get the car cheaper, with more features, and won't go through any of these growing pains with delays and problems. Patience goes a long way gents.

I doubt that too unless GM puts a stipulation on that one car that it can't be sold for X number of days. I'd bet they sell them right away.
