As for everyone saying that GM should have built 50 pre-orders instead of v6 parade/showroom cars...keep in mind that 80% of the pre-orders were SS models and GM needed to maintain some level of balance in the mix of parts being made by the suppliers. I too wish there were more v6 models being delivered but that will happen soon enough.
Also keep in mind, GM has to generate interest among non-enthusiasts to keep the sales going beyond the initial 15000 pre-orders. When you're planning of annual sales of 80-10k, 15k enthusiast orders is a long way off from that target. Who's going to buy the first 15k of next years run? Certainly not the 15k enthusiasts that bought one this year.
