Best scenario-> car here Tuesday, March 24th
Worst scenario-> a week later

Just my opinion of course.
From my experience, the cars sit more than what your expecting. Whichever way they get from the plant to a holding yard; they then sit there and wait until they get a load of vehicles that are headed to the same dealer or dealers (in the same general area).

This can take a month or more. IIRC, my friend's Formula was 5 weeks from the date it rolled off the assy line untill it hit the dealer.

If that is true that would suck! With such low volume in car sales due to the economy that has the potential to really extend ship times.

Calm down . There is no indication that the cars will not begin to ship this week as promised. Time "in transit" is what it is and is not GM's fault.

My order is still at 1100 as well. I got a hold of a copy of the March consensus for my dealer (not through my salesman because he is clueless) and they are supposedly receiving 1 allocated order that has already been accepted, which is mine since I am #1. What I don't get is that my salesman keeps telling me that my order is at 1100 but according to the consensus 1 order has already been accepted for production! At this point I am just going to sit back and relax, when the car comes it comes

Do you think that maybe it's their showroom car they were promised? I guess it's possible yours could be second.

That could be a possiblilty! Who knows at this point. They are very clueless, even the manager does not know what he is talking about. I am done arguing with them. When the car comes, it then comes. I am working on a few things anyway before the car arrives, so the extra time is not a big deal...even though it is hard to wait!

Maybe your dealer put another order in ahead of you they can submit any of the preorders in at there discretion.

Guys, check this thread out.

For those of you who can't get any info from your dealers, this gives you what has been produced so far. Some of you might be able to call your dealer and tell THEM that that the car has been made.

Not really. Your dealer can pull up your car's status at any time; it's not a big secret although some dealers seem to treat it as such for no real reason. You know, like they're doing you some big favor doing their job and telling you how your car is progressing...
