Took the wife yesterday to a dealer about 20 miles away that happened to have a 18 Red R/T and a 18 Octane Red GT. I really like the bright red but wanted to see the Octane in person so it worked out well.

I really wanted to drive one and also see the 2nd row buckets. I want the second row bench but wife wants buckets. She wants the dark grey and I want the bright red. So after the test drive (we were both impressed), we sat down with the dealership owner and built one up. I agreed to the buckets and the wife agreed to the bright red so we compromised!

Here's what we built:

18 DD AWD R/T

Stitched Dash
Rear DVD
Power Sunroof
2nd Row Captains
Trailer Tow
EB heater

I didn't want the Technology package or the Black top trim.

I'll probably pull the trigger later this week. :cool: The salesman mentioned there's a restriction on the R/T right now but he doesn't think it will last long.

It's about time! ;) Glad to hear you made up your mind(s). And hey, at least you'll be getting the exact vehicle you want!
The waiting part always sucks but I'm happy having what I want. The one we drove is actually very close to what we will order.

What did you and your wife think of the octane red? When you say bright red you mean rally red right
The Octane Red seems to be more purple in person. When next to the Redline, then you can see a huge difference. I was hoping the Octane red was closer to the Red Jewel on my Trailblazer.

Even it can appear different shades depending on the angle




I'm not 100% sure but I think the restriction is because of the hood. I tried to order a hood today and the part numbers are currently blocked.
He didn't say exactly what the restriction was.

Emailed the salesman today and he said the order will get placed.

Dealer called me today and thinks it will arrive over the weekend!! WOW!! I might have it by Monday. I'm totally unprepared. I don't have my floor liners yet or anything ready for it!

Thanks! Salesman emailed me today and it's at the dealership! Ordered the 27th so that's less than 3 weeks!!
 
Wow! That's extremely fast. Mine was a factory order too. It was ordered the last week of September and I took delivery the first week of November.

Yes, very fast! I was hoping to get it before winter arrives but this actually caught me off guard! I don't have my floor liners yet or anything. Had to hurry up and order those yesterday. I have to be out of town all week for work so today is going to be crazy busy.
