No... They want more money because they can get it. $1295 is still low for shipping. GM Canada charges $1700 for this.

GM can easily increase their profit margin by increasing option prices ,especially z51....base price.. and freight and if they want to be stealthy about it , ....once discounting to invoice or x $ over invoice occurs..... increase the invoice price ....

Except there will be a small price hike (Percentage wise) on the base and a bigger one on the Z51

I agree, the 2014, Z51 is a bargain. GM never thought this car with the Z51 package would take off as it did. Certainly glad I got mine.

Really doubt anything of a change for the auto trans. Looks like its working very well...
With lack of great results nevermind good for the 7speed I would think they would make changes and lighten up on the torque management... Just a little

GM Canada charges $1800 (in Ontario anyhow) and it includes BOTH the freight and the air conditioning tax, so the actual shipping amount is not as high as you think.

I just find it hard to believe the AC tax only accounts for $100 of that $1800 total though. I'm thinking it's got to be more like $400 to $500.

Nope...Been $100 for a long time.....We get screwed for shipping and doc fees compared to the yanks.

They would poop their pants if shipping went up to canadian levels.

Here's a simple and very doable one that I hope happens... new, better quality carpet. It's minor in the grand scheme of things but it's a simple fix that will really allow the greatly improved interior to shine even more.
