Default 07 delivery date

Does anyone have an educated guess as to when the 07's go into production and when the first ones will arrive at the dealers? Has there been any rumors as to whether there will be a significant price increase?
I have a tentative order but nothering can be confirmed at this time so my dealer tells me.

Speculation based on past experience here...

Model year changeover at the plant usually occurs in June (seems like the last week of June or so), but cars don't start shipping until late July.

This is the norm, but last year the '05's went into September.

Speculation has it price will bump due to the standardization of OnStar. My guess is a $300 normal bump + $700 OnStar = $1k bump in base $ vs. late '06.

Check Rick Daniel's web site. I think he has the schedule for 07's listed.

Your dealer is correct, at least in this case. The GM order system will not accept any '07 orders until June 1st. Only then will the dealer be able to start giving you order status codes and tenative production dates.

Shipping of the 2007's should start on July 12th.

Your dealer must have an allocation before GM will accept the order. Without an allocation, your car will not be built.
