2018 ZL1 delivery time for Canada?

toronto18zl1 · 06-06-2017, 03:32 AM

Hello everyone, first post here.
I ordered a 2018 ZL1 10A with my local dealership in Toronto two weeks ago. The manager there showed me their GM allocation email to ensure me that they have the allocation so I guess that's good to know. I have done all the configurations and I have paid the $5000 deposit. So my question now is for those who got their 2017 ZL1 in Canada, when did you guys got the deliveries this year and when should I be expecting my 2018 ZL1 to come? I understand that we might be getting them later than our neighbors down south due to the weather up here, but exactly how late?
I am super excited for this and thank you everybody for your help.

Canadian launch for all 200 for 2018 MY will be staggered according to my sources. So that means some in the first runs and some as late as April / May 2018...

It all depends how GM Canada picks them up as they want some scattered Deleveries across the country for visibility/model exposure ...

Yea I just ordered mine yesterday so I'm hoping it shows up around August to have a couple months is driving time but also if it gets pushed to spring means I can save more over the winter

I cant wait until spring next year. Not worth it I will hop to a competitor. What do they really expect us Canadians to do when the US has a lot of zl1's sitting unsold at msrp. The hype is long over sell us a car when we want it, not 12+ months later.

Agreed 100% and I don't plan on waiting until late September as well, I've shall we say had enough....Still waiting for an order number then TPW. I'm growing very tired of this entire process with GM and their dealers.

I was told they will always deliver the ZL1s in late Feb to April. But that was for MY17, and there was only 50. Now theres 200, so would be nice if they did first back of 50 to Canada in August.

Be nice but won't happen. Staggered launch allocation for production for Canada. Confirmed. Unfortunately we are not the only market for GM..

Not the only or biggest by far, but the closest with the best friendship. Make less SS models that are selling slowly here and produce the extra zl1 and zl1 1le units for your best friends, this year not next.

With such a small amount of volume they really should run them early and get them on the ground so people can use them instead of looking at them in their showrooms.

Remember that the ZL1's have to be delivered in the warm months that will not damage the high performance tires during transport.When I got my 1st E92 M3 the tires had to be changed due to cracking that was caused by winter temperatures incured during shipping.

Finally I have an order number now the wait for the TPW which will tell all.

Is your dealer sending you updates as they get them?

Got my order number & confirmation sheet so I just need to be patient while waiting
