Decline Relative to:

2005: 54%
2006: 57%
2007: 57%
2008: 51%
2009: 13%

So almost 20% away from your 75% figure. Now, is it bad? Yes, but it isn't that bad because of who the Corvette appeals to and it won't recover as quickly for the same reason. It's a play toy. It isn't a DD for most people. So when the market goes to shit and the entire auto market dives from 16MM units per year average to 9.5MM... yeah it's going to take a hit too and probably more so but it will come back.

I think you need to calm down and not get so worked up because you are wrong. Next time bring real numbers.

Cannot do yearly because GM doesn't disclose that detail easily on an annual basis. I would have to add them up manually and I'm not prepared to devote that kind of time when a sample illustrates my point.

You can do yearly with a simple google search.

2007 CORVETTE production and # sold: 40,561 produced, 40,561 sold
2010 CORVETTE production and # sold: 12,194, ~9,883 sold so far, ~2,311 left on lots today

You do the math.
