They chose to go the current route due to the pent up demand and anticipation.

And there is the biggest issue...
People complain that the process is taking too long and a year from order to production is ridiculous... Got some news for ya...
When they redesign any car- even a current one- it's a long process. While they were rolling out 07 and 08 and now, 09 Equinoxes (Equinoi ?) they were designing the "new 10". Hell, they
just rolled it out in Detroit. You think that happened overnight? If there were problems in the redo, they'd be making the same vehicle in 2010 that they made in 08 and the new Equinox would have been released later as a 2011 and
we wouldn't know or care.
Here's the crux of the situation as I see it. They plan on putting out a 20
10 Camaro early during the 2009 model year, have some issues, and people complain that they (actually only the last of the 11k) won't get a pre-ordered vehicle until October 09 when
every other 2010 on the market is first released. Personally, yes, I think ordering on Oct 13th should carry more weight than ordering last week. I don't care if someone who ordered on Oct 13th is #12 at their dealer and the guy last week is #2 at his. The October order
should be built first. That's where a lot of this animosity is growing from- and well founded. My opinion.
*edit-> off a year on the Equinox...(fixed)
