does anyone have any new dates?

Recently, it was rumored that the order guides would be sent to dealers on May 26; and orders could be entered May 29.

Any recent news on this?

 

 

Yes

 

Yes, but entering an order just means being at 1100. There won't be any allocations for the 2015 given out till late June and pricing probably won't be out till sometime in July.

THANK-YOU !

I have an appointment with my salesman on May 28 - to finalize the RPO numbers on our 2015... and I'm hoping the ordering guide has been distributed by then.

Probably going with Tiger Shark Gray

 

And I want to know whether we will be able to order magnetic ride without the Z51 option..

 

No go on the mag ride without z51, was addressed at the bash.

 

we were there, and heard the same.

 

I was there, too. I heard them say that NPP will be included with Z51 in 2015 but I heard no mention one way or the other about the possibility of getting magnetic ride without Z51.

 

So for 15, the Magnetic ride IS included with the Z51 package? Wonder how much the Z51 is going to increase (AGAIN); especially because the NPP exhaust will be standard with the Z51 package as well. Perhaps, the Z51 is now going to be a 10K option, LOL

 

I'd have to imagine that most Z51's are already ordered with both options so that will likely simplify the ordering and production process, while still meeting the majority of customer demands.

 

Oops! You know what, you are correct and I was wrong in my post above. NPP will be included in Z51, not magnetic ride. It's my mistake. I apologize for any confusion. I will edit my post above accordingly.

 

Seems backwards to me. I would think pricing would precede the order date. I guess GM expects their customers to commit to a car before knowing what the price will be. Now that is funny, I don't care what you say!

 

I have done it. I suspect I am not alone.

I'll be thinking about those who are waiting for the 2015. Meanwhile I will be enjoying the summer in my C7....

Did I tell you about last summer. I sold my Corvette in September 12 thinking I would have a C7 summer of 13. Nope a summer without a Corvette sucks.

 

I am sure you are not alone and I too will be joining you since I am #1 on the list at Hendricks in Shawnee Mission, Ks. Just seems that GM puts customers in a crappy position without knowing price. I doubt their purchasing agent buys anything without a firm price in writing BEFORE the purchase. Seems hypocritical to me!

 

Not to me in that 99.9% of Chevrolet orders before model year are to dealers who are going to be buying no matter the price. And there is a difference as regards a supplier providing parts and a customer making a purchase.

I admit there is likely a difference in %s from one vehicle to another, but I do not see allowing a retail sold order to go through before the start of production (and before pricing is released) to be hypocritical at all.

Having a base convertible, magnetic ride isn't needed. The car handles better than my C6 did with magnetic ride. I would like to drive a Z51 car with magnetic ride though. See what if anything I'm missing.

 

Bill; I did similar... I sold my beloved 2002 in Nov of 12 - when only Jalopnik images were available of the C7. Was ready to order a 2014, but they negated the GMS employee program from the beginning. Had they allowed GMS; we'd be driving a C7 right now.

We had to wait.
By the time they re-allowed GMS in April'ish ??? of this year, it was too late; we had already made plans for a 2015.

Yep; this waiting - is tough.

 

I don't know how you guys are doing it. I just made the decision and reshuffled cars last week in order to get a 2015 and the wait is already killing me
