Default Pricing Scam

What sense does it make to announce a "base" price and then tell your customers you have to order a 2LT and that the 1LT is not available ? Frustrated Canadian

Not a scam, it's called constraint and has been that way for decades and decades. Just wait until 1LT comes off constraint and you have what you want.

Default Constraints Lifted?

I believe the C8 coupe constraints have been lifted. I might be wrong but that's what I've read on the forum so it must be correct!

In a bizarre twist, all the Canadian constraints except convertible, were lifted yesterday afternoon. So the eager customers who have been waiting for months for orders to open, going in the morning, had a list of colour constraints, plus 1LT not available. By late in the day it was "no problem".

There's a post here of a Canadian getting a 1LT order submitted yesterday.

No one is making you buy a 2LT option.
