Cobalt SS: Are you sick of waiting?
I am really sick of all the GM bashing !!!
They know what they are doing and if you just can’t wait for the SS, sucks to be you!
Go get a different car.
Honesty, if you need a car now, bitching about a new model not being out yet won't help.
This post is not directed at anyone in particular. I just can’t take it anymore

I agree, but I think I can understand where some people are coming from. I mean I've only been psyched about getting this car since early January-February when I saw it in my Road and Track. I didn't even know it existed before then. Some people pre-ordered an SS as early as September of 2004, that's been 6 months of waiting. With people talking of getting theirs in September as a 2006 model nobody wants to wait a whole year for a car. I'm glad I can't afford to buy one yet, cause I would probably get sick of waiting too.

And as far as the septermber 06 stuff. As far as we have heard that just affects GM Canada orders. No one here in the US with a build date has been notified of this. My order has also not changed and was accepted into production as an 05 Cobalt SS/SC today.

I also agree. People act like GM is purposely causing delays, like its some conspiracy theory or something. I can definitely see where they are coming from, but its not worth becoming extremely upset over it.
I'm sure GM is doing their best to get the Cobalts out - I mean seriously, think about it - why would they want to cause delays? The more cars they can produce and ship out, the more satisfied customers they have and the more money they can make.
Hopefully they will be able to get things sorted out soon; I'm looking forward to seeing some Cobalts on the road

my point
the cobalt is being used on same assembly line or i could be wrong, why is that the usa have no problems and canada they have delays
im not upset, just g.m canada is telling me one thing the dealer has a different story,im also trading in my car,but before i made the deal i asked my salesmen when ill get the car he told me 2-4 weeks as he had several coming in, so i found out about this forum and hear what u all ready heard about the delays so i called my gm dealer to get the order# so i called gm canada they told i had a build date of march 28,and it got pushed back untill sept thats a huge wait for me,my dealer is telling me thats bullshit and also i was at the toronto car show, two reps from gm had two different storys on build date one said may and other said october as cobalt is only a concept car, there project it will be available for a 2006

hell I haven't even seen a coupe yet. The people who have ordered one back in Aug-Oct. have the right to bitch, some one like me who just order back in Jan. can wait til next year. Hell I'll have my Cavy paid off, and will have more of a downpayment for the Cobalt.

Well, even if my car doesn't come until June, or September, or whenever, I have decided to wait it out. Driving rental cars at a discounted rate isn't the worst thing in the world.
I just love that Cobalt SS/SC too much not to wait.

impressions...
Congratulations on the GTO HotSauce!
Ya know, it just seems to me GM/Chevy is either hiding something about production/delivery on this car, or trying to bury their heads in the sand?
Honestly, I just don’t get it…
Specifically, there are obvious production delays (promised last fall) yet there has been no formal communication to the loyal buyers who signed up early to get this new “finally competitive with the imports” car. At first glance it would seem GM is either so inept they don’t realize their bumble, or they don’t give a crap?
Obviously their marketing/advertising department has no communication with production so I guess it’s too much to ask for real info to the buying public?
Some people on this site have the audacity to say they’re tired of others bashing poor ole GM! Get freakin’ real! GM has had serious issues forever --- and some of us are just plain tired of the crap. Who knows, mass defections are possible, and maybe in the future Honda can purchase the once mighty GM and straighten the place out --- TOP to bottom!

Maybe if every one that worked for Toyota won a billion dollars in the lottery then maybe Toyota could buy out GM...don't count on it.
GM isn't just the largest car companies but also one of the most lucrative businesses across the world.
Please, honda and toyota gain some quick ground in America and people assume GM has lost touch. Go on GM's website and look at all their companies across Europe and the rest of the world, they sell well everywhere. Not to mention all of the other industries they operate in; for example: GMAC, their banking division that handles car financing and loans makes a whole hell of a lot of their annual profits.
<--Can't wait till Mitsubishi goes bankrupt and DCX buys out the rest of the shares they don't own.
