Beat me to the punch on this one. All your points ^above^ are exact ones I would make.

My experience is that Corporate has a better handle on it than the dealers, but not by much.

A couple more examples from the 1st86 program.

Inconsistency in the delivery of the cars. Some were done with great fanfare, some (like mine) were barely normal car deliveries.

Communication with the group since Long Beach has been nonexistent. In fact, even the end of the Long Beach event was anti-climatic. We went to the race on Saturday and, well, nothing after that. No closeout event that night, no note on our pillow saying thanks for coming, nothing.

Don't get me wrong, it was a great event, and overall a good program where I got exactly what I was promised, early delivery of the car, but it just fell off a cliff. In the end, it was done half-baked. Parts were well done and tasty, other parts of it were just plain raw and ingrediants were missing.

Technically, we still don't even know that the program has come to a close or not.
