Well I just found out that I have a TPW of 11/18. Hopefully they'll ship this batch and not store them.

1LE's should come standard with a high quality three season performance tire, then offer the current tire as a no cost "track tire" option. Who could possibly argue with that? Now let the "you just don't get what this car is all about" tidal wave begin.

Me too..... They will either get built and ship, or get built and sit there.

Most of the 1LE cars built this time last year shipped without delay. I took delivery first week of December.

News flash. the sales lost for delaying a car a couple of months is a drop in the bucket for gm. This is a company at spends 10,000,000 on Facebook advertising alone. They did roughly 80 million in revenue from 1le's last year. If they lost 10 million in sales(which they won't because that would mean zero orders during the delayed months!). That would be .0006 of 1 percent loss in total revenue.
Point being, they ain't changing anything for .0006 percent! |

Perhaps if they made it easier/cheaper to purchase accessory wheels & winter tires, this might not need to occur...but the # of people willing to buy those wheels and tires for any more than a grand (which is impractical) is slim to none, I'll bet. At the end of the day, while they might be doing this from a legal standpoint of avoiding lawsuits...they are also concerned for driver safety...and vehicle quality. Camaro team doesn't want a car shipped that has cracked tires, or flat-spots...nor do they want people getting their high performnace car...risk not being told with the appropriate stress that these tires are dangerous in extremely cold temperatures...and wrecking their brand new cars.... I could be wrong.....but I don't think they're going to sit on any of them...the cold temps can damage the tires in extreme circumstances...If I were GM (and I'm not)...I'd put the entire car (1LE and ZL1) on an artificial constraint...causing them not to be built until the resume date... |

Has anybody brought up the fact that there are already cars sitting on dealers lots in cold climates? Why's it any different if they set in the cold in Canada or any one of the northern states. Cold is cold. We've had below freezing temp here for a while now and I don't see any dealers around here bringing their ZL1s or 1LEs in out of the cold.
