All GM rebates on any GM vehicle go by delivery date.

The point of the rebate is usually to move dealer stock, not to get people to order more cars. You do not get the rebates that are offered when you place the order, you get any rebates that are available when the delivery date arrives.

In my upbringing, being sorry is is not enough, have to make restitution for whatever. Just bugs me when they keep on saying we are sorry, we are sorry, would rather hear, you are screwed.

It's not in any way the dealer's fault. There's nothing they can do. GM is not going to make rebates retroactive and give away money on cars they already sold. Do you guys know what the hold-back and margin are on a Cruze? The only way dealers make money is sales bonuses and trucks, there is no meat in a deal on a 20K car unless you get some idiot who pays MSRP.
