I'm hearing from a few local dealerships the factory has stopped production/delivery of the car. They claim they don't know why, but some speculate a problem they are trying to fix before units ship; i.e. avoiding a recall.

Anyone else heard of what is going on?

That and the GT's as well..They are calling it a quality control issue. I am still waiting for my first 2010 to hit my dealership, its 2 months late. its being held along with a bunch more..
