And of course, I would be the one with a 1AL37 with both CF5 and UQ3 ordered. Doh!

I figure it's more and more likely I'm going to get a 2006 Cobalt instead of an '05.

Well I think Chevy just made the decision for me on my SS/sc

Availability is limited for Premium speaker system (UQ3).
Air bags, side head curtain (ASF) is on hold until further notice.
Sunroof (CF5) is on hold until further notice.


I had a sunroof, side air bags, and the Pioneer in my order...... and a 6-8 week lead time puts production of the car at the end of June, and delivery the end of July, SORRY I'm not waiting 10 months for a compact sport car, come on its not a 911 twin turbo! Chevy has just lost a loyal customer, and negative word of mouth is dangerous to a biz, and can bring the largest companies down. Chevy should have never advertised the SS/sc.

ok one question does the pioneer extra with the SS\sc or is it standered because on my contract the only codes i got on there are...lsj,mm5 1sa and a cf5:S

It's all kinda silly actually. The dealers want your bussiness so they order one for you but the GM plant only discloses to the dealer where your order on the car is once per week. So everyone is in the dark on what is going on here!!!! My salesman called yesterday to say that my order was preferenced yesterday and that they are only allocated three SS/SC models this year and one of them is mine!!!!! So unless there is an unforseen catastrophic event, my car will be built and I'll get it..............sometime!!!!

It's soo true!!! I work in retail though, but when I get my major I'm a little worried about that. It's an evil spiral of death.

Well, you know what they say............It's not how good you can play, it's being in the right place at the right time and who you know and it doesn't hurt to be good looking too!!!

In the long run, GM will have new incentives and if you don't drive off the lot first, you automatically get them. Who knows, you might look back and say you were lucky this happened. And when the car finally comes, you'll forget all about the waiting.

i don't understand y the hold all of a sudden... how many people on here have them already, the red ones were out 1st, then the blue ones, and theres a few other colors out too, yet now, all of a sudden, they r on hold... my car was built on 4/6, yet is being held, i'll find out tomorrow if its being released, or held longer... we got a red one in yesterday, that we were 'owed' from the auto show, i noticed it was built in feb, so its been around a while... 8 months and waiting for mine, good thing i didin't need a car...

well then go buy another car if you think thats what you want to do... But If you are settling for a car you really do not want because of how long it is taking to get the one you want I would not buy another car because of this personally.

My car was built yesterday, and it had a sunroof and the pioneer system.

I went to the dealer today and my guy wasn't in yet, I left him a voicemail, he's going to look it up and call me back, Ill let you know. I know it's says the 3rd, but mine was built on the second and I feared after reading this that mine may have suffered as a result of this. I hope not, but either way Im waiting.

I'll let you know what he says.

Everyone that complains about GM not making the SS quick enough and teasing with ads is crazy. There werent many if any ads directly for the SS, Chevy is pushing the base models much more, and with good reason... many more people will buy a base than the SS. Just becuase getting an SS is in your best intrest doesnt mean its in Chevy's to worry about the SS more than the other models. The other models will sell much faster and in much larger QTY. Its common business sense... the people who want the top of the line will come on their own its the people with an 18k dollar budget you need to convince.
