[Solo]

Hello All,

I just wanted to get an idea as to how many of you are close to going with another car. With all the issues and dates for production that Pontiac, how many of you are fed up and thinking about switching. Maybe Pontiac will be looking at this poll and can sorta get an idea of how many sales they could be loosing.

I'm hoping my 1:18th scale Solstice will tide me over.

 

[leolaw]

I will hang in there for the duration.

Depending on my ship date, I may cancel the order entirely. The car is totally impractical and I am only buying for the fun of it. If it gets to me too late in the year, I may cancel the order rather than making loan and insurance payments on it while it sits in the garage over the winter. There would be no fun in that. If I do cancel the order, I would wait until the turbo comes out. As it stands, the dealer is holding my $500.00 deposit since 4/15. But I can wait, I really do like the car.

Something tells me with 8000 orders back-logged they won't care about losing some :devil:

I totally dis-agree. If you owned a business, it does hurt when you lose sales. If those people that have cancelled tell other people about there issues and problems, it is a trickle down affect. They may not want to invest in a product that hasn't been even completed or tested yet by the average joe.

Totally impractical is right. I feel the exact same way...it was fun to get swept up in the excitement but November delivery and beyond....I won't wait that long.

 

[SolsticeDesire]

Here is my senario... The Solstice will be my only car and my current car does not pass inspection. It is safe to drive, but will not pass. I can not register my car in October without it passing inspection and it is not worth paying for it to be fixed. If the Solstice takes too long I might be forced to cancel my order :brentil: , but I would wait until then.

I was being a smart a** but really, waiting is purely a personal decision based on personal needs and circumstances. Some times you just can't wait, there's nothing wrong with that.

On the flip side I don't think GM will rush the car out to "save" a few sales of the 8000. In the end they'll make more by having a quality product in the long run.

 

[Dogtown]

Here we go again.

Man I am so tired of the topic. They have been telling us the same thing ever since we registered for the program. "The cars will be here by October." Until that day comes and goes, the only question is... "Who likes to repeat a question if they do not get the answer they want?" Strangely enough, no matter how many times we ask "are they here yet?" the story is the same. I think GM has done an excellent job of keeping us informed. They can not help it if you do not like hearing the truth.

 

[WaitingForBoost]

I'm waiting for the '07 models. I registed for the EOP, but decided that no matter how cool it would be to have a first-year Solstice, I'd rather wait & get what I really want. (I'm really going to envy you '06 guys when people start making ecstatic posts about cars being delivered.) First-year jitters? No, my 1993 Z28 is a first-year car and it's been pretty trouble-free, so I'm not worried about that. Call it the patience that comes with having a few years under my belt. I'm hoping for a turbo (or a Mallett LS2, if my luck hold out), 6-speed, and heated seats (for those few 20-something degree mornings that we get here in Gainesville). The rumored removable hardtop (that will probably fit the '06 cars, but why chance it?) will be a bonus, too.

Plus, an extra year will give the aftermarket an extra year for development.

I'm hoping for a turbo

I couldn't think of a more fitting member name/handle <WaitingForBoost> :lol:

 

[Skyolstice]

I havent even ordered, im not sure about the Sky or solstice yet, undecided

 

[Adrenaline]

The initial impatience has subsided, I'm enjoying my last couple months with my Sunfire in the meantime.

 

[Fortyninenorth]

In for the duration, even if it means immediately putting it on blocks for four months.

Think about it, as soon as the snow is gone, we'll be the ones driving everyone else's Spring fever when we roll out of the garage.

Then they will find out there is STILL a waiting list in April '06, and the cycle repeats itself on this forum next year, but most of us won't be here, we'll out on the open road............................

 

[rover]

How long will I wait?

I have been waiting for an affordable roadster,like the Solstice, for forty years. I can handle another couple of months.

 

[del_utz]

I'm in for the long haul!

 

[jimbo]

I haven't ordered one yet. I'm going to let you guinea pigs find all the flaws in it so my 2007 is perfect. :devil:
