And to think that I was contemplating to forgo my MY23 May allocation to perhaps wait it out for the new Riptide Blue. Thank GOD I did not do that. I already had the wife getting nervous about the big car payments on the 3LT fully optioned. Now it looks like a steal (especially having avoided the lux tax). I feel horrible for those of you waiting for so long (I know the feeling), and am guessing many will be pulling out and going a different route. Like someone said in this post, many of us assumed the SR would be a stepping stone to move to an ER or Z06, now that dream has ended for most.
GM decided that they were no longer competing with the likes of Ford, Dodge, Jag, Porsche (lower end models) and now they want to compete at the exotic level and still say it's a bargain even with the new prices.
