At any rate, I fully agree with your post above. What will be interesting for you and me is the success of the CT5-V Blackwing manual sales or not...should be telling for what the "could have been" but never will for a manual C8.

How do you get that there was a significant miss by the forecasting team? That ethereal are. Dozen people on an enthusiast website that although not buying a C8 think GM should have offered a manual?
