Default for those of you with C7's on order (and those interested)

I really feel the frustration from those ordering C7's... during these times of unknowns.

No need to get all worked up though... it's history repeating itself.

During these times of unknowns? Sounds like an excuse.

An excuse for what? GM said the car would be available late third quarter, guess what? It isn't late third quarter yet and the car isn't available. Not really a surprise.

Folks are frustrated because they have paid a deposit and most dealerships haven't even entered their orders in to the system. For those that don't understand how the system works, it can be confusing and frustrating.

Woods... I read that wrong. I guess I got lucky, because I paid a deposit TODAY and the order is transmitting to GM TODAY.

Just think, In 6 months there will be corvettes just sitting on the lot, looking for a buyer.

Making yourself crazy, will not make it get here any faster.

I'd be very surprised if there are C7s sitting on the lot in 6 months time. 12 months, perhaps, but not 6.
