If 2007 Production Starts 6/19 When Will They

[KJS]

actually start hitting the lots? How long is production to delivery on average? Any of you GM insiders have ideas or knowledge on 06 incentives/rebates etc?

Not a marketing person, but I doubt if you will see an incentives or rebates in the first six months, if the H3 continues to sell above expectations. As for when they hit the dealer, a dealer person can answer that better. Depends on actual date of start of RETAIL production versus start of production and the average time it takes to get a vehicle from the plant to their location. Shipped vehicles within a certain range are shipped by truck, most are shipped by rail.
I suggest giving a State in your reply that will help someone estimate when a vehicle will arrive.

Start of production is correct but yesterday they announced an additional week off so the plant will be down from 7-3-06 through 7-21-06 with slow accelerated startup from there. So if you order a '07 soon, you may have to wait a little longer.

Where you been? Hope all is well in Shreveport.
Are the running any captured test vehicles in that first batch, or have they already run the CTVs for us Yankess to screw around with?

All well down south.I think we are up to saleable, now or close to it. Being in Bodyshop, it's hard to tell the difference. Yes, you should have new toys, soon.
