Default Question about ording

This is out of curiosity, but I believe they have started making c7s for customers correct. So there are those who cannot change their order. If this is true, why is GM still releasing new options for the car, for example the LPOs? The people that have already put in their order and have moved past the point of making changes don't have these options anymore.

If so, why would GM do that?

I am not sure if anyone is beyond the point of making changes. But, there are the thousands who have not gotten to that point.

I have not heard of any customer car being produced. Even so, once an order meets a certain point (3000 / 3300) GM is in the process of getting all of the items together to produce it, that means you can't change the order. GM will continue to add new options through the model year, and those who can change the order can pick them up, those who already ordered cannot. If you don't want to miss out on any of the options, wait to order the car. Also, most of the LPO's will be available later as a GM accessory. They are dealer installed anyway.

...standard industry practice. often you will see notes on options stating "available late fall" or some such language.
