If your allocation was not accepted by GM you will likely pay the increase. GM put all dealers in a hard place with a mid cycle price increase.
Totally agree. I called GM Canada a few times on this and this is what they told me (event 2000, allocation accepted by GM before March 1, 2021). Not sure there is a formal policy/bulletin sent to dealers clearly explaining this, so with this vague policy, many dealers did not know and they have to deal with asking customers and go confirm with their GM rep. It has created a lot of work and confusion, frankly for both dealers and customers with this mid cycle price increase.
I am picking up the car tomorrow and also would go in to finalize some paperwork, so I will report if I found additional things on this topic.
