Here’s some food for thought, though. GM sold 25-35 thousand C7’s a year. I’m too lazy to look up sales figures for each competing model, but i believe Porsches, M cars, Shelbys sold well from 2014-2017. How many C8’s are they gearing up to make? If they produce 50k a year will that finally kill the weaker competitive models?
The later years of C7 sales fell off a cliff because the mid engine buzz halted sales. Nearly everyone said they’d wait and wait they did.
Bowling Green recently added a second shift, nearly doubling the production number of the new generation. They’re going to make tons of them and sell them all it seems.
