Mayhem,
All good points on your post.

I think the biggest complaint us "R6P" people have is just the fustration of us being 'pre-orders' in hopes that actually means First in-First out. That's what we understood from GM. "Order now!" were the 2 words I saw. Followed by, "Be one of the first camaro's on the road". I mean....What a treat to be one of the first for such a fantasic car ! So I placed my order and I was the last of R6P order at my dealer.

But then seeing all of the April, May, June orders being pulled and in some cases already delivered is what's causing some tension for us R6P people.

Now, before EVERYONE starts allocation / allotment talk, I understand.....I get it.... Trust me...I understand ! But very bad communication between GM / Dealerhip / consumer on this process. In some cases, many question marks above salesman's head when you ask them why your order has not been pulled for production yet. Then to mix in a Chapter 11, to me it seems there's no strategic formula when "pulling" these orders. For example: If dealership X uses their allotment (like 20 orders), fantasic! But GM should say, we will not pull any more orders from you until we get all orgional dealer's "allotments" done. This includes all R6P orders. Another words, everyone wait your turn.

So I'm just saying, it would be nice for the general public to understand this ordering process. I mean we should be able to see the process since the orgional allocation / allotment plan was Federally approved....Doesn't open records apply here ? I know my salesman is frecken tired of me calling and asking him about that's forusre. But I just hope some things gives soon.

Yes, I'm fustrated. Yes, I'm upset. Yes, I think things are unfair sometimes. But that's the way "things" are.

I may never 'pre-order' again, because what did it actually get me ? A set of Ginsue steak knives ?

Note: I know the reason why I'm still at 1100. It's no fault of GM's. There was an issue with my dealership. But it took FOREVER to get it settled - And that's fustrating ! I hope soon my 'R6p pre-order' will get pulled.

Enjoy your new cars. We are ALL a part of something special. Let's have fun.
