New member and excited to order the LTZ Hatch Turbo on 03 Nov. Black, Black/Tintanium, Sunroof. GM Family member. Mom is a proud retiree from Delco Products and IUE!

Originally wanted sedan but Hatch seems better. Plus first car was a used 1976 VW Rabbit (with 8-track!)-- so I have a crush on hatch's!

Longtime Saturn owner -- SL1 and current 04 VUE 5-spd. ECOTEC engines rock!

Did you get your order in on 11/3/11?
That is the same day I ordered the same car (w/o sunroof and in silver). Where do you live? It'll be interesting to see how our delivery times compare!

Sonic Boomer -

yes I ordered the Sonic the evening of 3 Nov. I'm in Dayton OH so I hope the truck ride from Orion is relatively quick!

I've told myself to expect it by Xmas so when I get it earlier I will be suprised! I'll keep the "progress" posted.

I aslo order my Sonic on November 3.

I gave my daughter my Yaris which left me her 2002 Dodge Neon. What a POS, so I decided to get a new car.

I ordered a 1LTZ Sedan, Inferno Orange Maticllic, 6 speed 1.4L turbo. Went with the sedan because I wanted the extra room. Plus, I am not a young person (not old either).

I am noticing that most people are ordering the manual transmission with the turbo. I personally did not like the automatic at all during the test drive. Drove a Cruz with the 1.8 manual.

My Sonic is in the 3400 build cycle as of today November 12. Even this old timer is excited about this car. I went with the Sonic over the Mazda 2, Hyundai Accent (SE), Ford Focus, and the KIA Soul and Rio.

The Sonic LTZ has everything a person needs.

I'm jealous, mine went to 3000 on 11/8/11 and hasn't budged since.

If you get a chance, post your event history. Here is mine:

11/03/2011 (1102) Order entered via web.
11/03/2011 (1100) Order placed at dealership. Order passed GM edit tables but dealer has not received allocation to place order.
11/03/2011 (2000) Order accepted by GM. Dealer used allocation to place order into production.
11/08/2011 (2500) Order preferenced. Order pulled to the production system.
11/08/2011 (3000) Order accepted by production control. Parts being ordered and production process is underway.

I'm not following the event history...it just makes the wait seem longer!

Vinny - I was set on the Sedan but chose the hatch once I saw each one side-by-side. I love hatch's and was happy it wasn't an pimped-looking "Aveo" hatch. I knew the Sedan was nice looking and roomy. I'd be very happy with a Sedan! Have fun and post a pic when you get the keys! I'm not young anymore (will be 49 soon) -- just wanting a daily driver which gets better MPG than my 4-speed VUE (24 MPG) and kids getting older, etc...

Should I be worried???

Your's is moving along pretty well. I was right there with you with the 3000 on 11/8/2011, but mine hasn't budged in over a week. This is current as of 9PM on 11/16/11. I wonder if I need to call attention to it or wait another week!

Whine as I might, I got it easy compared to the guys that ordered the 1.4 T back in July!

Boomer, an order spends upwards of 10 working days at status 3000. Nothing unusual there.

Thanks! My point of reference was Vinny's progress which went from 3000 to 3100 on the same day and to 3400 within 4 days.

I'll take your response to indicate that Vinny's is atypically fast rather than mine being atypically slow, which is very useful information!

Joe,

What's your status now. My sonic is stuck at 3400. I was told by my dealer that I should get the car in the first week in December. That would be good, the sooner or better.

I'm hoping for the Sonic just in time for the inch-deep layer of road salt here in Dayton -- i.e., middle of Dec! :eek:

Mine hasn't budged since 11/08/11. the plant may have shut down for the holidays.
If there is no activity by the end of Wednesday, I think there must be a production delay of some sort.

You had not only GM shut down for the holiday, but probably most suppliers as well. You will more than likely see movement early next week.
