Seriously. Avis is doing a bulk purchase folks. What's to say their bulk order wasn't placed as the first order in the pre-ordering system back in October, hence trumping everyone of you that pre-ordered. Don't you think they'd be a bit ticked off at GM for building all your one-off Camaros before GM built theirs?

I understand the frustration for everyone that has ordered but you really have to step back and view this from a cash infusion position for GM. They deliver 1 order to Avis (with 100+ cars) and get cut a single check shortly after production starts. Now take into consideration how long it would take for GM to complete that process on 100 individual dealer sales - which one is going to look better on the books, especially with the Fed looking at your every move. Love it or hate it, GM is in a position where the faster it can get its hands on cash, the better.
