So I called that GM number from another thread that lets us Canadians know when our vehicles will be built. And once I got through I gave them my order number and this what I was told in response

"You have ordered a 2005 Cobalt SS/SC. Your car was originally schedualed to be built on March 7 2005. However the 2005 model run was a limited production run which is finishing. Your order has now been pushed back to June 14 2005 as a 2006 model"

Mine was ordered October 4 2004. I had the build date 3 weeks ago. I am going to GM tonight to try to figure this out, but it sounds like a lot of us that our cars were being built might not be getting them.

The red line or SRT-4 is looking better everyday.

 

this sucks!! whats going on for the states here, god i hope i get mine

 

Ouch man, that sucks so bad. I honestly cannot believe they would do this. Is GM really that dumb?

And not to sound mean I hope it is just the SS's and won't affect my LS.

 

how come they got a orange one in canada, and the list of 25 dealers gettin them, whats going on, how many are being make for 05, i am gettin sick of waiting GM!!

 

man good thing i didn't order a cobalt ss. i got 2 cars in mind new 05 mustang or mazda rx8 i need a new car soon i cant wait for 6 months for a cobalt

i want a cobalt too but there takin so damn long

 

Chevy should of nevre of put cobalt ss on there website before it came out im sorry but if i was chevy i would of let the delaers have the car first then put the car on the site and free xm and free sun roof im a chevy fan it just this is stupid of chevy. mazda rx8 sounds good

 

Yeah, thats a great way to sell about 0 of them.

 

Mother F*cker! No 3rd gear until June?!

 

Yeah, I agree.
How is anyone going to know about a car if you don't advertise it.

I'm also getting a little tired of all these "GM needs to get their act together" posts.
This is the first year for this car, it's never been made before. Im sure some issues they couldn't have forseen have affected production. At least GM is trying to get a decent product out, rather then rush and get some POS car with thousands of defects, like some other industries seem to think is OK to do (*ahem MICROSOFT ahem*).

Thats just my rant.

 

wheres Banshee, this is bullcrap, as selfish as it may seem - maybe its only for Canada ?

 

hmm a lot of questions that will go unanswered cuz we are dealing with GM

 

yes where is he, whats going on, my dealers has not returned my messages either, one last week and one today, i am pissed!

 

i agree, but hey if you wait your still getting the free sunroof and xm----which sucks

 

I went to my dealership to straighten this up, and guess what....ITS ALL TRUE

While I was the sale manager heard me talking to my friend/salesman about this and said "Give me the order, I'm gunna make a phone call". He came back a few minutes later red in the face and said. "Yup, this is true. It seems GM has made/is going to only make 700 of the SS/SC in the first year. If your order is flagged as sold (which mine is) then it isn't even going to be built (even in June)."

We all figure there is a huge delay GM is not letting on about. Now I am not sure if this is Canada only, but don't be surprised if a bunch of people get similar news over the next few days/weeks.

My dealership is one of the biggest sellers in the Toronto area, so he the sale manager is going to try to pull some strings tomorrow to up my build date, but I doubt it will happen

What worries me more is that no actual SS S/C are being built for the general public. I know some are built courtesy of Banshee's info, but even he has only seen a few finished products. What if these are GM exec cars only and we all have to wait till June?

 

I ordered my car on 9/11/04 and it's just being built right now. I should have it by March 15th according to the dealer. So if you ordered it a bit later I guess it's possible to have it pushed off till 2006

If the 2005 Cobalt SS S/C is going to be limited production thats good for us people who are actually getting our order filled.

If GM told me I would have to wait until the 2006 model year I would have them cancel the order and get something else.

 

, Im already considering my options

 

Very interesting...Hopefully someone will shed some light for us US customers. Sorry about your news that sucks! I really hope they find a way to get you your car.

 

But what about the one in the dealer in Arizona ?...it was even marked as sold


and im callin my dealer tomorrow to see whats up

 

who knows? maybe someone there is special

 

If they are only making 700 there is no doubt that all 700 have been sold to someone.

 

So does this mean there is a phone # that U.S. customers can call to check on their order status also?

 

Yeah seriously... I hope this does not affect the LS also!! I put my order in the last week of December and as far as last week, the car was still in "Papper Form" lolol

So I'm wondering, why is it taking so long to build the LS Coupes with THE 1SB PACKAGE?

The excuse I got was, GM is focusing on the Automatics for the most part!!... And as of right now, today, I still have not heard anything. I don't want to keep calling my dealer either.. I don't have an order number to call GM too!... Hmmmmmmmmmmm???

What's that number you guys used to call GM... I take it and think of some way of getting info!!!

 

My dealer told me this a few weeks ago, and I mentioned it here, everyone tried to tell me they were just feeding me a line.. Guess it remains to be seen.

 

Man now I know why I don't order cars. Sucks for all you guys waiting for your special order Cobalts. Oh well, I am going to go drive mine

 

Im not laughin
