Anyone who's alienated (especially to the point of not buying the car) because they are not getting information more than a year before launch is an idiot. Scott's right - this business is *very* competitive - and I agree with everyone who wants more information - I'd love to see different colors, the production car, the production interior - everything! But I also understand the reality of the situation for GM and if by keeping me in the dark until the week before the car rolls off the line, they are also keeping their competition in the dark - fine - I will sit here, in the dark, humming quietly. 
I think it's funny how quick people are to say STFU when they are basically acting the same way but in the other direction.

I'll say this to put it in perspecitve. We know more about the Camaro 16 months prior to launch than the Challenger folks knew about Challenger, and the Mustang folks knew about Mustang.

You are correct.
By the way -- we HAVE selected colors -- BUT...........and this is important so pay attention: it isn't like we decide to paint one orange -- call up PPG or BASF or DuPont and say -- '....mix 'er up, fellas!......' -- paint DOES have to go thru validation as well............
............soooooooooo............there are only so many formulas that have been validated.
(....after all -- most customers would be very upset if the paint faded in a couple of years...........)
