Are we close to 2008 order dates yet???

[H3less]

Any news on 2008 order dates yet? I am tired of waiting for info from my dealers. I sent them the order info that was posted, they said thanks, they didn?t they have it yet... Do the dealers (sales people) try to find info on the vehicles they sell? Sorry, that was a gross generalization I am sure there are some that really know the product well and are just waiting for GM to pass along what they have. Any way I am just getting itchy palms again can't wait to finally see what's up for the next year!

two weeks ago when i was at the dealer for service, a couple of sales people said they are already taking orders for the alpha which is an 08 model. donno if they were feeding me bull or whatever but thats what they said.

Hmmm, Both dealers in my area say they haven't heard from GM yet, They both know that I am interested...I have been hounding them for months now. Guess I'll get back to them, again. Is there any reason why some would have the green light and others not?

Im in the same boat. Im first in line at my dealer, but they havent contacted me yet saying its a go. I want to get things rolling, I want my alpha asap. Hopefuly someone can give some solid dates?

SCRATCH THAT LAST POST!!! my dealer called today, looks like I can order my truck when ever I want. So start of next week I guess I will go down and set things up! Im so freaking excited!

I know that we start building 08's about June 20th time frame. I don't believe the plant has actual orders, but shouldn't be much longer before they are recieved. So I'd have to believe that orders are being accepted.

Does this mean that my guy is giving me the run around??? (per sales at my dealer this morning)
"We all get the order availability at the same time as it is internet based. We still have no order guides, no allocation numbers or dates yet. GM emails the dealer principal and sales manager when we can begin ordering.

Regards,"

If so I don't like how they are they are handling things so far

I take that back...some dealers may not have earned the early allocation...but we already have 15 alpha orders placed.

we have already started ordering o8',,, as for any new modle year, pricing wont be known untill the units are invoiced

So I will give my dealer some slack...for now...
Not sure what earned early allocation is but assume that it is related to volume of sales and getting vehicles to the biggest demand areas first?

If you don't mind me asking, how much is your dealership asking for the ALPHA? Thanks!
