Premier Edition Not In Initial Production

Per Ken Fictner, Premier Editions can't be ordered till September, and won't be built until late in the year. Good news for us in the first consensus.

Since that car comes with the exposed carbon fiber roof panel that is on constraint, GM thought it was more important to get customer cars built first.

There was a great deal of information posted on the Premeire Edition on August 7th. They were never intended to be part of the original production.

I was hoping they would build them first. That would have given them 500 practices with the Brownstone interior before doing mine.

Once all selections are received, Chevrolet will review the selections and assign the.....

The dealer will be notified of their selection prior to shipment. The Premiere Edition coupes are expected to be shipped by end of December 2013, while the convertibles are scheduled to be shipped by the end of February 2014.
