Why is allocation so complicated that it can not be explained on a thread?

Every state has its own dealership laws that affects allocations. Shipping cars aint cheap so you have to optimize it. Politics...nough said. I think this happens mostly at the dealers. But idk for sure. |

I don't think I'm going to convince you -- so all I can say is: We want you as a customer and we want to KEEP you as a customer -- I did not get to where I am today by lying to people........... With that said -- I rest my case, sir. |

The door sils that are standard on the v8 now....I'm assume these are the "Cheverolet" logo on the bottom of the door, well we've seen then on a few v6s are they now part of the 2LT or RS package for the v6? Or will I have to order them seperate?

At a time like this, GM needs every single car that comes off the production line to be of the HIGHEST quality. For too long, GM's had a bad rep when it came to quality, regardless of the millions of satisfied customers who have trouble-free GM vehicles. Today, I read an article that said that 75% of new car buyers are now interested in buying an American car. With that many people looking to buy cars from GM, I think a month is a fine price to pay for the highest quality possible. People are going to be looking over every detail of the car.

I usually lurk on a few different car forums just because I am very interested in them and never have I seen someone from those companies as involved as Fbod has been. |

From what I have gleaned of the allocation process, seems the ordering customer falls somewhere below GM's needs; and then the dealer.
