[QUOTE="Movie Muscle, post: 80166, member: 2398"] You have to love GM. They don't give the dealer nearly enough allocations. He's part of a group that allows them, within the GM rules to bring cars in. So instead of saying "Hey these guys could sell a ton more cars if we allocate more units to them, and Canada" They give them less. How laughable is this. He owns a franchise and the manufacturer doesn't give him the product to sell. When he does what he needs to do within the framework he loses even more revenue...and they sell less cars. Seems logical. You make the hottest car you have produced in ten years and send approximately 2/3 of one production day to an entire country that you share a border with?...A country who helped you with tax breaks, bailout loans and owned 12% stock in GM Canada. Not so much griping for me but for all those I know waiting in line for a car. We here in the forums are only the more hardcore aficionados. There are ton of casual buyers not on our forum who are not thrilled. Dealers are having walkins ask to buy the car on the lot or showroom floor, to be told sorry. Every car they see on the lot after a delivery that they ask about is sold. Some customers are actually getting angry thinking dealers are playing or lying to them. As the response is " well we can put you on a list", " We don't know how many we will be getting", "you have to order one and wait 10-12 mos" or, "we don't have any to sell you until 2017 or so". If you weren't an educated Corvette head what would your response be to the above? Would you be buying a Corvette or be putting money down on another car?....Both good questions. [/QUOTE]
