Everyone here realizes that every dealer got a guide number of Camaros way back in October of 2008. That was then and this is now. Things change and so do forecasts.
Our guide number was 9. This represents the approx. number of Camaro's were are supposed to get thru the end of Q3. This was never a promise or guarantee by GM that this was set in stone. I think these guide numbers were ultra conservative,
As of mid April, our store will have gotten 5 of the 9. I'm no mathematician but it seems to me that if things move along the way they seem to be, we will be getting way more than that number before the end of Q3 (Sept.2009). If not, does that mean that they will only give me another 4 between May and the end of September? Only 1 more per month? I don't think so. Can they change their mind (GM)? Absolutely. What do they say? The only guarantees are death and taxes.
I've been a Chevrolet sales manager since 1988 and I have been using the current ordering system since inception. I can only go by experience and say there will plenty more Camaros available than the guide numbers show.
Just my .02
