Although I can't say I really agree with it, I think they they probably locked it (possibly just temporarily according to one mod) before it got totally derailed and turned into YouTube style posts with rediculously bad language, name calling, and useless prattle. Just look at some of the responses posted there and you'll see what I mean.
Like I said, if they were trying to hide it, why not delete it so it is no longer visible rather than just locking it from further posts? I'm sure as the OP gets more info, or more resolve, he can make a new post with that information.
Now with that said, I feel bad for William (the OP) and really hope this gets resolved for him. I did see a post on one of the other sites from someone claiming to be a GM rep sending him a PM to talk to him about it. I hope so. I am happy that now, more than ever, consumers have more power. When something like this happens, within hours 100s of thousands or even millions of people can know about it. I'm sure the pressure is on that dealer now to do the write thing a few grand (or whatever) for them to make it right is better than losing many thousands in potential customers.

it's not deleted because it is being linked back from several sites, including jalopnik, deleting it would break those links..
locking it IMO makes sense though, otherwise hundreds if not thousands of non-Camaro owners with come here and sign up just to post their 2 cents into the thread..
