Default Any one order a white car yet?

From what I understood it was a mid production year color? Has any one been able to order a white 5th gen yet?

If you build one on the chevrolet website, you can't even select white.

My salesman said white can be ordered late July early Aug.
He wants white and has been waiting for GM to unlock the color himself, said they have a freeze on it for some reason..

GM Workbench allows you to choose white. If you want white you need a compentent dealer to find it and select it. A factory insider has said he has seen about 10-15 white cars roll down the line in the past week.


Again, white is available to order.

One of my buddies has a White on order, but he has good connections, but he still doesn't know how long it's going to take to get the car.

Ideally I would like to do a white car with the orange stripes, similar to the older 69 pace cars and the 30th Anniv LT1 cars. Incase any wonders why I want a white car so bad. I turned 25 yesterday, next year will be 10 years I have had my Lt1 got it at 16, be cool to pick up some thing like this 10 years later for my birthday. I always been kind of a dream to go in and order a car.

IIRC, GM is allowing you to get orange rally stripes on the white from the factory. They are the short ones that only cover the hood though so if you want them on the bumper.

White/Orange would be an excellent combo!! Also, I ordered my 1999 and recommend ordering to anyone. It's a great experience and the wait is worth it to know it's your car from the beginning!!

If you have the right dealer can you order one with an LS7? That is what I want.

I ordered my white one a couple of weeks ago. White DID show up on the GM work bench when we went through the order process.
