I can only speak for myself on this matter but I feel there are a lot of people who will agree with me on this. Everyone understands that as cars are designed and produced certain options become unavailable due to many factors. Cost, weight, safety and the list goes on. That's fine. Not every scene filmed for a movie actually makes it into a movie and I understand that. I think what upsets people is when companies say "OK, we are ready to market this car. Here are a list of available options. Let the orders begin" and shortly after that decide for unforeseen reasons that certain options will be on restraint either indefinitely, for a short time or not on this MY of vehicle. A good example of this is the anticipated navi system. I've seen people, myself included, who were really hoping for a navi system option in the Zl1 but when the list came out and it wasn't available, wasn't considered a deal breaker. For whatever reason GM had decided it wasn't an option they wanted to include in the build. It's when options are listed as available then yanked from production that people begin to second guess their decisions. I understand that the vast majority of the parts are indeed produced by 3rd party companies and the car as a whole is assembled by GM. As a result of this a 3rd party company can really throw a wrench into production by falling behind or producing sub standard parts that don't meet or exceed GM's standards and I do nothing but applaud them for NOT releasing these builds until things are 100%. What I'm saying is (and I may get yelled at for this) delay the initial order release until certain percentages of these parts are available, tested, passed and ready for assembly. Then open the doors for ordering and deliver a quality, 100% car to the consumer the way they ordered it in a timely fashion. Yes, I know time is money and GM has a pile of both invested in the Zl1 and would love to get the cars flying out the door to see some return on their investment but putting the pressure on these 3rd party companies (which I'm sure they're doing) to hold up to their end of the contract and holding off until parts are ready to be assembled before accepting orders would be a good idea as well .
