Well said. Except when Jeep did the refresh they brought forward a refreshed front fascia, instrument cluster which is reconfigurable, an 8.4 NAV unit, and new tail lights are rear brow. I think GM does this intentionally. It reminds me of what Apple does with the iPhone. If people will buy a new mediocre product why give them your best product right out of the gate.

I went in yesterday to finally get one of these beasts built. I spoke with the new car manager at the dealership. Nice guy and all. When we sat down to build the vehicle on the gm workbench, I was surprised to see that there was not an option for the 8-speed transmission. They still had it listed as the 6-speed transmission.
He also stated that I would need to come back on friday or saturday as that was when his dealership's ordering window would open. He seemed confident about getting the order placed and I didn't get the feeling he was giving me the run around. I attached the build sheet that he printed out.
He stated that he was not entirely sure why the 8-speed did not show up on the sheet and said that it may be different when we actually do the ordering on friday. Does this make sense or can someone shed some light on this?

Niner - tried to reply to your PM but didn't have enough forum posts yet.
I ordered it from Kirkland GMC. I ordered it at the end of June. When I placed the order, I knew there were two orders in front of me that hadn't yet been allocated. By August my order still hadn't been picked up and I was getting concerned. That's when I started hearing about the 2015i. Mid-August I was told my order had been allocated and it was converted to the 2015i. In the end, it probably will have been 4-5 months, but I'm glad it took a while longer so I get the 8-speed. And I'm not in a huge rush to get a new vehicle so I was able to wait.
Josh is my salesman there and David is the internet sales manager. Both were great to work with (so far).

I doubt it was intentional. I just think they were completely unprepared and they had no other option other than to go ahead with what they could build at the time. Advertising was in place, the car show circuit was running.. They simply could not put a stop to what was already in motion.
This usually does not happen. It really does screw over the guys who bought an early model by not giving them the best product out of the gate.

GMC just updated the website for ordering the 2015i Denali. Shows the new packages, 8 speed, wheels, etc.
Is better for us with the early model because the latest version will be fix if is any issues by 2017,2108.
It don't bother me , my car is not a lease I purchase and I can switch anytime I want that is the beauty of purchase.

Andrew, are you ordering an SLT or a Denali? Only the Denali has the 8-speed.

Why doesn't this forum limit sig pics? Jeezus Christ.
I hope the buffering noise is fixed in new production units. Sounds like GM has a large issue on their hands. Lots of buy backs being reported on the Gm-Trucks.com forum.

Go into your User CP area and turn off "show signatures".
I believe the Prius forum has a size limit on signature sizes. Everything here is BIG! Must be the Texas thing.

My order was placed 8/27 (Yukon Denali). It is still in 1100. No real reason is being given for the delay...other than a couple of guesses. The dealer said they are only building 100 per day (actual capacity in Arlington is over 1000 per day). He also said he has allocation for the LWB (XL model) but isn't getting allocation for mine (SWB). What...they are not making SWB so allocation is non-existent. Frustrating in any case ... and this order is to replace the '15 Yukon Denali they screwed up that I'm driving now.
I am ordering a Denali, well at least trying to.
Supposedly on friday the dealerships ordering window is open.Is anyone familiar with the software/website a dealer uses to build/order a new Yukon? The reason I ask is because when I was at a dealer on Monday a salesman was building a 15 Denali XL AWD that stickered for a little less than $74. He selected an option group that included 22s, dual Blu ray, power running boards, adaptive cruise control, and a roof for around $4k. When this package was selected other available options that were wrapped into this were shown with smiley face icon. What gives?
I'm just going to leave this here and then dive for cover. http://blog.caranddriver.com/theyve...on-we-drive-gms-new-8-speed-pickups-and-suvs/
