Subject:
Update on 2012 Camaro ZL1 Shipments and DOSP

The purpose of this note is to provide you with an update on 2012 Camaro ZL1 production and vehicle shipment plans.

All Camaro ZL1 models produced to date are currently being held by General Motors for a quality assessment. At this moment, the duration of the hold is undetermined, and may last a few more weeks. As soon as the hold is cleared, a note will be sent to all dealers to advise that 2012 Camaro ZL1 shipments are underway.

Because of the hold, the upcoming Dealer Order Submission Process (DOSP) cycle that was to be dedicated to ZL1 is being postponed. This DOSP cycle was scheduled to start this Thursday, March 1, 2012, and continues through Tuesday, March 6, 2012. A new date for this DOSP cycle will be provided in the near future.

We regret to have to undertake these actions, especially given the high anticipation for the new Camaro ZL1. We ask for your patience and will continue to keep you posted on any developments regarding production and vehicle shipments from Oshawa.

Sincerely,

Russell M. Clark
Director – Chevrolet Small Cars, Small Utilities and
Performance Cars Marketing

I wonder what the problem is. Did the Canadians let a moose run free in the factory and knock over a bunch of stuff?

God damn moose.

Perhaps they miscalculated the degree of planned obsolescence built into the car and parts were falling off as soon as they left the assembly line.

They needed an extended break for pancakes with maple syrup and bagged milk. They got a bunch of syrup on the cars and made them all sticky.

Moose army took a dump in all the A/C vents. Just think about how bad that would be with the heater on.

Is that just like Chevy told all the workers in one of their Detorit plants to take a 3 week vacation because "They had enough inventory of the (it's one of the new cars, can't remember exactly which one, but the model name is irrelevant because they all suck) to be able to maintain sales with their current stockpile for 158 days without building anymore..."

Google Translate: 'We've built such a shitty car no one wants, so until we can get these sold, don't make anymore.'
