I have added our two known VINs to "THE LIST" (links in sig)

Deep Sol, you weren't even ON the list.

No, it does not look like times have ANYTHING to do with VINs

Please reply here with your VIN so I can reflect it on "THE LIST"

Please post your car color also. Since it appears that not all the colors were done at once, that may give some of us who were not black, blue, or green a better idea once we start seeing other colors come out.

Excel, if you could add the color request to your thread starter, it might get more notice also.

Thanks.

Posted this elsewhere, too. I have VIN 037, a Deep blue model with many extra features. My EOP time was 2:37PM. I believe that early documentation stated that orders would be filled randomly, not based on EOP time. I can believe that now!

Yup me too, I was near the end of the EOP orders (2:37 or something). I'm sure that has nothing to do with how they are filling the orders for production.

For the record, my car color is "Deep". (Thus the name Sol Deep).
Sand/Gray leather. Everything available except smokers pkg and XM radio. Did get 6-CD w/monsoon.

Another theory:

Put aside the time of the order on the April 15th for a second. What if it's when your order got put into the GM system (dealerworld, autobook?) that counts?

My dealer did mention that in his experience the age of the order might help it get built faster (older orders get picked up first?). I thought he was blowing smoke but we did enter my order into the GM order system in March, a few weeks before the Apprentice.

Looking for a possible common denominator, any of the other early VINs load their orders in the GM system early? Remember we had up to 10 days after the Apprentice to comeplete that task (linking the real order to the Apprentice order).

If that's not it, got to be random or something.

Based on statistical analysis, using normally distributed data and Central Limit Theory we can state with 95.44% confidence that all cars coming off the line are going to a northern location once we have we have collected the first 15 samples of data. If these samples do go to a northern state then we can conclude this is indeed true.

Congrats to all that have received their VINS. Still no news as to when my sol will be delivered, but I'm in the south. I was hoping that they went by colors in their deliveries....
I was told that I could have the price of my car for only $500.00 dollars more than the dealer's cost. Just curious, but have any of you heard anything definite as of the cost of your cars?

I have a signed purchase contract for a fully loaded Solstice, $24,675 (minus XM and Smokers package).

If there is a North/South distribution, this isn't going to lead to another civil war is it?

Or will the Southerners just gloat about actually being able to put the top down in December and January???
