Either way, having the car on the Apprentice, and taking preorders last week...then delaying the car till fall is a disaster.

Just proves how hard it is to bring a car with this much content in at such a low price and maintain quality.
Yep. LOL you did call it. I'm sorry but this is just ridiculous. Why even advertise the car in April if you don't think you can get it out until next fall? GM will be six months late on capitalizing on the buzz. People once again are going to be going to the Pontiac dealer to see a certain car only to find that it's not there. And of course, Mazda will have a nice new roadster ready to sell them if they don't feel like waiting for the Solstice.

Just curious: when Solstice finally hits showroom floors, will the dealerships that gouged on the GTO be punished? It'd be nice to see them get no allocations for the first six months

been saying it all along...GM can do it just by looking at the sold vs on lot percentage or being sneaky and looking at the "market adjustment" they did by cruising the website of dealers...

I say GM sould do it..give to the dealers that sold the GTO pretty well
