GM is just slow in getting things updated which is why they don't have any of the discounted 07 pricing (GMS/GMID) up yet on their sites.

Here's another tidbit many of you may not know about GMS on a C6:
If you qualify, and get a C6 under GMS program, you must own it for 2 years. It's part of the rules. If you sell it before 2 years, the family member who got you the certificate loses his GMS giving priveleges for some amount of time...not sure how long though. The C6 is one of the only cars GM sells (the only one I think) that has this rule. All other vehicles are 6 months. It's to keep employees from reselling and making money on the car. 2 friggin' years!
Good thing to keep in mind before you buy!

What is GMS pricing? Explain it to this new-be! .....Never mind, I figured it out.

it was on and off in the 05 model year (and the dealers were pretty stingy with it)
then in 06 is was around all year from what i remember, didn't seem to be any of that on again off again business from the intro year - plus a couple of the forum dealers were accepting it through the whole year (and pretty much ALL of them right now).
so it would seem to follow logic that there wouldn't be any logical reason for gm to keep it off at all in 07, but then again i did just say "gm" and "logical" in the same sentence which may not be wise...
