most of all this posted info on production stats is bs.........my 2012 rollover is sheduled for build next week..........so there is no way they have built 1000 MY 2013's..........probably less than 400 so far, considering they needed about 500 rollovers..........they can produce them at about 150-180 a week plus they have to build various other car models as well.............If you want a 13 or 14 for sure, I would have an order in now ..........

they are going to try to build to demand but they have not even cleared demand from 2012 yet. I think they have ~200 cars to build before they have cleared that. I think there hope is to do what people are talking about but with the parts shortages and QC issues they just don't have the parts to build to demand.

Any car with the gas guzzler tax is going to be limited production.

In this day and age of technology, the emphasis is on quality and efficiency and doing so requires an orchestrated symphony between suppliers to produce the cars in a JIT fashion. And for GM to adhere to policies that span across all States, the allocation system creates bottlenecks that make it appear limited in availability. I would say in two to three months you will see more vehicles readily available after production gets into full swing after the recent shutdown and get caught up with orders, not just placed by individuals but by the dealers for their showrooms( those with the volume). Someone stated that because it's a 60K car it will limit production. Of course it will but not to what most people perceive to be "limited production". For example, do you know what the production level is for the Corvette? Here is a quote from Corvette Blogger for MY 2011: "It’s one of our favorite times of the year as GM releases the final production statistics for the 2011 model year. As we told you at the beginning of the month, GM’s wrapped up production of the 2011 Corvette in June and the final count for all Corvettes produced in the 2011 model year was 13,596. That was an 11.5% increase over the 12,194 Corvettes sold during the 2010 model year." Now for a car that can sell from low 50's to in excess of 100K, those aren't considered "limited production". I think we will see the ZL1 be very successful in the marketplace as evidence by the satisfaction of the early adopters, and I for one would not be surprised of sales in excess of 6K for the year.

My salesman told me my allocation finally came through for my 2012 order from Nov. They better get their shit together fast or '13 will be like '12 and they'll lose a lot more frustrated customers.

When did they start on your 2012 MY ZL1 since GM stopped making the 2012MY in June? Are you sure you didn't get bumped to 2013 MY since your allocation finally came through? Most salespersons don't have a clue what they are talking about. So if you just got picked up for production then it will be a 13 MY which means you get the upgrades.

They announced the car, many 2012 orders. They could not get it going fast enough with all the suppliers and their still having many issues getting all the parts. The demand has really backed up. They cant get the parts to build them. Everyone is very upset to have to wait so long and it is very a very difficult and slow process placing an order and actually receiving the car. Heck there are many many that have not received the 2012's they ordered and got carried over into 13. Right now it seems very un-organized. I wish they would get their poop together and focus on getting caught up on these orders. Let someone else wait for a change.

I wonder how many sales they've lost b'c of the delays / allocation mess. I know of several other than me.
