hi, And Welcome to the world of convertibles,I'm on my third one now.I think the color you have is the same as mine it's called Sunset Orange Metallic,SOM for short or else you have Monterey Maroon Metallic, those are the only two colors that it could be on a 01/02 car from the way you described it. take a look at mine then you will know for sure.

Maple red metallic (Firebird color) is the same as the montery maroon (camaro color)..... but those two colors are N/A for either the WS6 or the SS... I wanted a WS6 in MRM but settled for SOM instead....

Either way- both colors are awesome!!!

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the dealer will NEVER try that kind of stunt again after you are through with them.

Have you lodged a complaint directly with GM? I'm sure they are interested in knowing the shenanigans their dealers are involved in.

In our city a large GMC dealer had their franchise yanked for misrepresentation to GMAC.

Damn that sucks i hope you sue them for a new ta vert, plus enough for a new tahoe. I would definitely complain to gm headquarters especially, if you're a repeat gm customer.

I had a similar problem when trying to refinance my vehicle & i threatend to never buy another gm vehicle, & drive imports for the rest of my life, if they didn't give me the terms they originally quoted.
