Comments
wish they have another 20% month of SS sales
They have moved a lot of SSs last month with that offer. More than half of 3000 for this year are sold already thru April. Depending on how they sell in the next couple of months, GM might do another 2 week or a month 20% campaign, but by then only automatics w/no sunroofs will still be available.
I got mine in February in orange blast w/stick, sunroof and no spare. Let me tell you, it turns heads. People are taking pictures of it at intersections.
