The "they" is the point of the discussion. GM should do it, not the customer. Or at least that's how I run my business
I ordered a Ford Bronco for my daughter early in 2021. I got an email in November saying "good news - you are getting a 2022 Bronco!"
Translation - you aren't getting your Bronco this year but we are going to call it good news.
I also had to resubmit my order because features changed. The good news was that there was one additional color I could choose from or some BS like that.
Short story from my past. In spring of 1967 I was an engineering student at General Motors Institute (GMI) and my sponsor was Chevrolet Engineering Center in Warren, MI. At that time I was working in a section called "Design Check" and I helped to build a 1968 Corvette for display at the board of directors show of the new model year cars. The car was hand built. The best parts were pulled from the lines and parts bins to put the car together. Everything was as perfect as we could get it. Body panels were shimmed to produce the correct gaps. At the last minute someone in authority decided that they wanted to show a different color, blue to red or red to blue - don't remember. So we sent the car to the paint shop and then pulled and reinstalled the correct interior. After the show the car was disassembled because a hand-built car could not be sold due to liability.
Fun times. Lots of memories of the engine dynomometers running with screaming 302's hours on end until something broke and then the pieces would be laid out on a table for the engine designers to view. A CNC machine the size of a house cranking out all aluminum small blocks that the rumor mill said were sold to select people for $1.00 (Chaparral, etc.). Hope this was not too much of a thread hijack.
Does it get old for you? You block me on FB so you can take jabs (stalk me much?) and I can't respond, do it here, and then avoid talking to me when I call you on it. You have my cell phone number - call me if you would like to work on your anger issues and quit trashing threads.
That’s the lovely thing. Don’t have to see you or have you see me on FB. Nice! Maybe do the same here.
You’re an ace gaslighter, though.
All I said was what happens when you make a CPO with GM. And that GM doesn’t have one guy keying in orders.
You need to relax, man!

Or is this your retirement hobby?
So you can't edit it again
