Why should we have to rely on dealers to explain this sort of situation? The fact is, most dealers are unable or unwilling to fully explain the allocation system. Even if they themselves understand it, that would give the consumer more power (knowledge = power). There is absolutely no reason this wasn't explained better. Even the whole "production guide" situation wasn't published in official documentation. SEVERAL of the dealerships I contacted told me there was no such thing as a guide number for the Camaro. Either they were just selling as many as they could or they weren't selling any. They could have easily put the basic information regarding guide, allocation, etc in a document and posted it online.


Tag chose to do that. He needs no sympathy. He'll have a beast of a car as a result.

In the end, this is all just discussing things we can't change (the past). What we need is actions going forward.

Come on GM, move the rest of us lesser-celebrities to the front of the pack like you did Dr. Phil, Jay Leno, and half the NASCAR drivers.
as noted a lot of threads around here, dealers are idiots.

however, they SHOULD be up to date on everything that we know. they should know more about this car than we do. and it truly sucks that a lot of them dont put forth the time and effort to research the info that is asked of them. and I know the GM hotline has been hit and miss, but with 2394867234987124 calls an hour, things go to crap fast.






but.... I wholehearted agree with you on the bold part... well, actually, I agree with you on most everything else you've posted in this thread. I'm not arguing against you in this, just trying to calm things down and explain things a little.
