Schedule for arrival in dealers?

What's the latest estimated availability date for the GTO?

It's going to be a while... only 18,000 or so this year...

Probably late fall

Ive heard they should be getting in about late august. Only 18,000 will be imported (thank the UAW for that one) Ive heard that dealers are only going to get like one or very few since there are so few. Who knows.

Guess we will find out this fall. Wonder how much they will mark them up.

I cant wait do you know if the dealers are taking a waiting list??

I wonder if they will be placing markups on the cost, like Ford is doing with the Mach 1 at dealers near me.

I can almost guarantee a markup during the first year. Given that they will be imported in limited numbers from Holden (Australia) - I've heard they will be retooling and adding additional capacity for the GTO for export purposes in the years to come. Since they won't be able to supply the domestic Holden's and US market GTOs with their current factory setup without slighting one side or the other.

Hopefully the increased supply - should mean better pricing to us.

Besides I would skip the first year - just for the sake that it is the first model year. There are bound to be bugs that will need to be fixed. Wait for model year 2 or even 3.
