Default 19,000 Backorders, 3 month waiting list

http://www.thestar.com/business/auto...oll-plant?bn=1

Meanwhile, Oshawa's GM plant is enjoying a renaissance with a huge demand for the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, that, by far, is outstripping supply. According to a report, the back order for the new Camaro is up to 19,000, with a three-month waiting list. Once it hits peak production, the Oshawa plant will be producing 2,200 a week.
Looks like sales are still strong

They're starting to stick on lots a little but people are still ordering them and dealers are still putting in their orders. Just depends on the right car at the right time. Price of the car is such that most that want, can get pickey on what options/color/etc they want.

Surprisingly, no. The three v6 cars they would sell for sticker, the 2SS/RS they would let go for 2k over sticker, and the 1SS/RS they would sell for 3000, but thats because they just put a $950 axle back on it.

Dealership here is charging 5k no matter what engine/level the car is. Just stupid and it shows because theyve been there for over a month.

I don't know why anyone would pay a penny over sticker. If the dealership sells it for sticker, they still make plenty.

I think GM is making a huge mistake, they need to move these cars at sticker just to move them, they have a few on the lot in my town too. IMHO if you viewed any SEMA coverage from this year, we fixxing to see "5th gen overload" just like with the Mustangs, every where, on every corner, and most of them are yellow and red, I am already bored seeing them. YMMV.

Most the cars you see sitting at dealers are probably those that deals did not go though......people either changed there minds or could not afford to get the car. Then again some probably are new...but you can't argue the fact that the car is doing VERY well.

It's not GM making the mistake, it's greedy dealers!

There are 10 different colors. Dealers aren't going to stock 10 different colors. Then stock a base, Lt1, 2, SS, etc etc. If a person wants a 40K + vehicle they will order it. What is wrong with that?
