Default Finally!

I get to see one this weekend during the May 6 unveiling. Probably only a 1LT but it'll be nice to finally get an eyeball on it

Palm Beach...
Makes me wonder if there are more dealers nationwide doing the same thing.
Might want to check locally for one near you

Nope, Joe Alcoke in New Bern, NC.

Also have something in Swansboro and Jacksonville on the same days IIRC.

1 More day!

There's a V6 coming here to New Bern and an SS being unveiled in Jacksonville @6pm. I might make both.

Stopped and talked to the salesman. It's yellow and he thinks an SS.

Not an SS but it is a very nice car! Whoever it was that said there was a "plasticy" interior is out of their minds. It seems like a very well put together car and the Boston Acoustics stereo sounds great. I can't wait until there's enough around to allow for a test drive.

I'll be seeing the 2SS in Jacksonville tonight.

Good Job GM!
