It might be tomorrow (Friday) before all of the post-strike updates make it through the system anyway. I'm unfamiliar with TBW though...

True, I'm getting bored, there's no new information and like most I've read it all. Until we have our hands on the cars there's just very little left to say. I'm hoping to find guys to meet up with in person that are close (Mid Atlantic). Yes, this is just another useless thread.

It looks like GM has hidden the TPW on the orders as of about noon today 10/31.

Check with your dealers!

Updated info will likely be available tomorrow. Checking with your dealer is a waste of time today.

TPWs were in flux due to the strike. GM is getting everything back in line this week and you should have a new TPW tomorrow.

*******? Really? Come on. It's a great color if you like tan and far better than the peanut butter Kalahari on the C7 and the parchment light stuff in the C6 gen.

I wonder when GM will accept 1LT orders? It was supposed to be in November prior to the strike. I am # 8 on the list at my dealership for a 1st quarter allocation. They are allocated for 30 cars in the first quarter.
