2017 Production Statistics (esp. 1LE)

[IneedAZ]

Isn't it like 3 months now since production changed to 2018 models. Let's see the numbers already!

Yes!

All you guys have to do is wait until the end of production/start of the 2018 calendar year, and ask your Insurance Agent.

How is that? Anyone can access total production, but they won't have a clue about SS 1LE breakdowns for example.

+1 for all 2017 production number breakdown.

""Finally, Al and his team designs and builds cars - they don't set policies internally at GM. So a technically-oriented topics are more in their wheelhouse. Please keep that in mind when crafting a question."

The above is from the rules and guidelines thread....I was just curious how the question of production statistics, numbers, models, combos of features, etc., is something that is appropriate for "AL" and his team...
Instead of being a "technical" question, it's more of a bean-counter, sales info question.

I understand the curiosity, and it looks like the second most popular topic, but it seems like a non-issue for the purpose of this forum and what "AL" can answer. Other technical, engineering questions would be a more appropriate priority to be asked first. Chassis settings. mechanical issues, non-reclining seats, etc., are what Al can answer, not sales figures."

Maybe Al can email someone for us who can answer the question then lol?

I mean, the answers ARE out there.

Sorry, Al....I guess many feel this is important...lol...

[vtirocz]

I'm interested in this, but feel there are much more pressing questions about the product (NLS, ZL1 launch bog, and torque converter shudder).

Yep I mean Scott Settlemire used to be able to get these numbers, the Camaro White book used to get these numbers.. I am sure someone Al has contact can get these numbers.

Yes.


Quote from me, in the first poll:

Guidelines are just that: guidelines. And ultimately, Al oversees much of the Camaro program, not just engineering stuff. Sales figures and trim/option breakouts directly impact what sort of programming they decide to do for the car. So he'll have access to that information. If he doesn't directly - someone else close by will. We discussed this possibility when creating the forum; could other members of the Camaro Team who might have a more direct hand in whatever the question is answer a question? The answer was an excitable "Yes!".

"Al's Team" includes Todd Christensen, Jim Kalahar, Ann Briedis, Adam Barry...all of whom work on marketing, planning, quality checks, or design...so the people we are reaching with this "Ask AL" forum...aren't just Al, or directly under his supervision.

What we are trying to avoid, and hence the guideline, is people asking internal policy-related questions, like incentives, GM's move to EV, inventory management, etc...while of course, every move could impact Camaro Team - we wanted to focus on only Camaro...and yes, prioritize the technical topics.

But sales figures and model breakout is not too far off the mark, here.

Still holding out for a full break down in models, trims, and options. No way this day in age that cannot be provided. Sure wish the author of the Camaro White book would do one for the 6th Gen that book was amazing and had everything including specialty vehicles.

[Mr. Wyndham]

Hang tight.
