Backordered?

So my dealer tells me my 2006 SS/Sc will be here about sep 28th. so ok thats all good. then yesterday they tell me that my car won't be here until, at the very soonest, December, may be january. What the F@&K? They say that its backordered. more demand than supply. that is bull ****.
Anyone else outhere have this problem?

Wow, I guess I'm lucky on the Arrival Blue thing :P. I ordered mine just before they discontinued it, go me. Anyway, I was told I'd get mine in September, but it's looking more towards October now. What can I say though? People love this car.

EDIT: Sorry, I spoke too soon.. Dealership called today and said Chevy has had some problems with the Arrival Blue and it will not be available. Blah, blah.. Lazer Blue it is..

hey take it easy he never said that... so why is it you cannot stand him???

dont be a jerk, even if his parents pay for it

its not wrong for a parent that worked in life to be successful buy their kid a nice car, I pay for everything myself but I'm not gonna say I cannot stand someone who has nice parents.... thats messed up man grow up

Also about the actuall topic... Get used to this problem with a new car, more than likely there is more demand than supply... I'm not driving my 05' SS/SC that was supposed to be built in 4-6 weeks becuase it was never built in time PERIOD... just be patient
