Where are the Camaros?
I'm just wondering. When production first started it was stated that it would take 7 to 10 days for the cars to ship, which didn't happen. A couple of weeks ago we heard the Camaros have been released for shipment and still no one has one except for Hendricks. What is going on here? Do the Camaros have problems that need to be worked out or is GM holding them until the May reveal. If either of these are the case, please just let us know.
This lack of communication on the shipment of the Camaros is only causing frustration and speculation. If the cars need extra inspection, let the dealers know so they can let us know. If the cars are to be held until May, again, let the dealers know so we can know. Anyone who has ordered a car needs to know when to expect the car so they can set up financing, sell their other car, return their leased car or a variety of other reasons. GM really needs to communicate on what is going on with the shipment of cars so those ordering the car can plan accordingly.

Well if you haven't seen the news lately GM is pretty busy nowadays fighting for their survival. It may seem like a simple thing to provide more and better communication but even that stuff costs a lot of time and money, and GM is lacking both of those right now.

I know there have been tons of threads on this already and people are getting impatient, however I agree with the original poster, why has nobody been given a definitive answer on this. I haven't ordered a car so it doesn't matter much to me other than I am excited to see them on the road, but with all these threads that keep popping up with angry/impatient people, if there was an actual definitive answer out there people would stop posting and wouldn't be so impatient/upset IMO

Ok... listen up.. Hendricks has his because he owns the damn delaership...I'm pretty sure he's not driving them around.
the street date for these cars is May 6th. MAY 6th... again.. So please do not throw negativity around... yes people are getting impatient. Trust me, I know, but its going to do no good to complain like this.

I have to disagree with you here. GM had an IDL on 4/9, just last week, for dealers. They could have easily put this information into that communication.

I understand your issue. I really do. I've been on preorder since 10/13/08... I've been watching this damn thing come to life since 2006... But its not going to do any good to have these threads...

Again, the main issue is communication so those who ordered can plan accordingly. I can't tell someone who wants to buy my car, "uh, I don't know when I can sell it to you". No one can run a business like that. People have to be able to plan for such a large purchase. If it takes GM to May 6th to deliver the cars, fine, just communicate that clearly so there are no bad assumptions and so I can plan my moves.

When they have something to say or show you'll hear from them.
It's a waste of time for GM to give second by second makeready and shipping details.. Why? Cause they are fixing things and shipping things and are not a make to order company. They sell stock from lots. Like the Japanese and Koreans... |

Come on people, I'm just saying GM needs to communicate when expected delivery will be so we who ordered can plan for it. That is not a big issue, or shouldn't be one.

I'm kinda on the fence...I am an enthusiast bigtime but did not order a '10 Camaro,BUT a delay this long....without an explanation (of paid/customer cars), is kinda tough for those who ordered....why there are none at the dealers is kinda weird/unfair

Most of the dealers in and around the Chicago area are having their formal unveiling and release to customers on May 6th. Our club has been asked to support many of these events.

I understand the "unveiling" of the Camaro for the general public, but if this included paid "pre-orders" it was never communicated as such.
