Got my order number earlier this week. I have yet to check the status online yet.

I had started with plans to get a c8, even though it had no manual trans option. But with losing my GTO, I need a car with a backseat for my boys. I then decided on a 6th gen Camaro zl1. After going through countless reviews it seems the Camaro backseat might as well not even be there. My 5th gen was just barely manageable. So that was out too.
So in the end, decided on a sweet 4dr, manual, and blue.... chevy spark.

Another update: I checked the status at the corresponding gm website. Says dealer submitted order, just not accepted by GM yet and to check back Later. I'm still expecting a delivery date of late winter or spring 2022.

badass, right?
