It's definitely frustrating when you've ordered a car and it doesn't get built. I definitely wouldn't let that drive me away from GM completely though. I can understand buying something else but if I really wanted a Camaro, I'd find a way to get one before going any other route.

As for the allocation system, yes, in a way it sucks. Allocations are based on previous sales though. So, if your dealer never sold many Camaros prior to you submitting a preliminary order, it makes sense that they never got an allocation for you.

Pre-Covid, this wouldn't even be an issue. GM would have picked your order up and and built it, regardless of whether your dealer sold many Camaros or not.

If you want to blame anything, blame our world economy and the absolute s**t-show that Covid and the current administration created in the auto industry. Add in the disruption of the current UAW strike and it's impact on parts and vehicle availability and you have a recipe for not getting the car. Other than 2003-2009, this is literally the worst possible time in history to be a Camaro buyer.
