Convertible Delay
I was told today by a reliable source that convertibles will be further delayed. There have been unexpected problems and therefore ramp-up has been much slower than expected. It will take through January to build the orders that are already in the system. Any orders not yet accepted will not start to be built until some time in February.

Yes, it may mean that your coupe order will be accepted earlier. (If your order has already been accepted and production scheduled at the assembly plant, then no)
That's what happened to us. There were so many orders ahead of us this summer that they were telling us to expect a 1 Qtr 2005 delivery. However, more than 50% of the orders ahead of us were for verts so we ended up taking the express train to the front of the line and Bolwing Green accepted our order in September for a 3rd Qtr 2004 delivery.

Z06 I disagree. I have no problem taking something back to the dealer instead of waiting plus its not like that didn't make C5 convertibles so the problems should be minor for manual tops. I believe the power top works a lot like the caddy so those issues should be minor as well.

Are these delays actually new or are they the ones that a few weeks ago pushed a lot of the November TPWs back into January?
