then why the hell would my dealership tell me that it's not even possible to get a white one for 2008 (I had ebony/ebony 19E) he said that he called directly the DN who got that info directly from Lordstown, Ohio, where the cars are actually built

and I'm not trying to insult you buddy, far from it, I'm just a little pissed at the lack of competence of the persons at my dealership, i'm sure you're good

Revision:

Cutomer: I want one of those cobalt turbocharges thingys
Dealer: No problem, ordering is not open yet, but we can pick your options and colors.
Customer: I will put 10,000 down now
Dealer: Great, your deposit will guarentee your order as soon as its open and then we can discuss pricing And have the order processed.
Dealer: I will call you to come back in as soon as we can go further, right now your deposit entitles you to an 08 if we can order/ or 09 order/ or one that comes in from gm if options are suitable for you.

*shakes customers hand*

I used to work at the dealer, they ordered my car without a deposit. If I cannot get out of my lease, I can walk away and they will sell the car to someone else. As a former employee, they have agreed to sell me the at a discount. They are also paying the lease transfer of my old car and the lease busters fee.

The dealer wouldn't put my current car on lease busters, at their expense, if my new Cobalt wasn't going to be built. I know that the car had to be manually allocated, mine was accepted for production by GM and has a tentative build date of mid June.

Also, all that stuff about the phase 1, 2, 3 and 4. If you look under the Cobalt Sport in GM Autobook, it lists the same information dates and that car has been in production all year. I personally don't put much stock into that.

All I am waiting for is the APRs and residuals to be released, along with pricing for the LSD.

Here is my car on lease busters... http://www.leasebusters.com/en/details.asp?ID=50262

I have it avalible on my ordering program right now, now alot of people are still in 07 ss mode, trust me i have been given the same run around here, no one seems to know anything real, however i do my homework. I like to as much product knowloge as possible. but where ordering is not open yet everything is still subject to change, MSRP is even still subject to change.

I know this sucks getting multipull answers from different people but your dealer may be right about the color. But all i can say is i have it avalible here rightn now.

he did have it opened, and I was there with the sales director when he manually placed the order to GM... two weeks went by and he's told that white won't be available for 2008 models...

honestly I was considering myself lucky of just being able to order it in white... if you take a look at all the SS in the Test Drive that you guys did... all the colors are there exept for silver and white.. that rang a bell... second thing would be the official color chart in the edmunds complete test drive

anyways... the blue still looks very very good, it's just a little deceiving

White has also disappeared from the build it now configurator on the gmcanada.com website.


This is all a little ridiculous, how long can it take GM Canada to release prices and APRs.

ahhh, i see white has dissapeared, whats pretty dumb is that gm.ca is actually ahead of our GM Autobook (orderig tool) Autobook is all still W/A for MSRP and All options. I guess all we can do is wait... like i said iam checking GM Infonet daily for updates from GM.

Davis98 - all this info from GM is so unreliable right now, i stand down. It seems to be anyones game right now, and seems we are all getting different info. I guess we will wait for gm to release all the solid info. but iam not making any promises to myself untill they give us some solid answers. sorry for the big dispute.

I'm supposed to get the financial infos this week.. I'll keep you updated

wouldn't be surprised if it would be exeptionnal vs. all the other cobalts since they are made in limited amounts

Honda did it with the Si in 2006... regular ones where 3.9% and the Si 7-8%
