^That is good news. Both electric and combustion engines should co-exist, to give customers a wider choice in vehicles. Its my opinion, but electric technology is still far off in terms of usability and convenience as opposed to combustion. I do believe that one day electric cars will improve and become more common on the road.

GMC Hummer EV truck coming. Superbowl commercial.

FenwickHockey65 · 01-10-2020, 04:02 PM

Honestly that makes a lot more sense than reviving the entire Hummer brand.

Hummer SUV also in the works if the truck is successful.

Wide body C8 testing in the snow. Possible C8 Z06.

Martinjlm · 01-11-2020, 03:22 PM

Maybe.....maybe not. Actually, I’d say probably not.

2021 GMC AT4 lineup, featuring the yet to be fully revealed 2021 Terrain.

It really strikes me how much smaller the midsizers are in that picture.

2021 Terrain.

LittleDolfin · 01-15-2020, 01:07 PM

Is there anyone here that can help me with customer service with GM? I have a real problem and I'm just getting nowhere. Is there any way I can contact a "higher up"?

This just in....

Chevrolet needs to reduce 2020 Corvette production by roughly 20% because of the working days it lost while the factory was closed due to the UAW strike, and to offset the time it spent tracking down internal issues with the car. Production of the 2021 model is scheduled to begin Sept. 1, and pushing that date back to manufacture more 2020s isn't an option.

Davenport pointed out the situation isn't as dire as it might sound. Chevrolet dealerships can earn extra allocations, and enthusiasts who ordered their Corvette from bigger stores across the nation have nothing to worry about, especially if they've given the sales department their full name and their email address. The stores who won't get all of their 2020 orders fulfilled are primarily the ones charging well over MSRP, or those trying to build up an inventory of unsold Corvettes. Chevrolet is prioritizing sold orders placed by individuals.

If you're waiting for a C8 Corvette, contact the dealer you bought it from to make sure it's on its way. "It's very important that you communicate with your dealer so you get your order in," Davenport summed up. Chevrolet will roll the 2020 orders it can't fill over to the 2021 model year; Corvette Forum pointed out the same thing happened when the seventh-generation car went on sale for the 2014 model year. The Corvette is widely expected to cost more in 2021, but executives might delay the increase until the plant fills every order placed for a 2020 model.

Chevrolet remains on track to begin producing the eighth-generation Corvette in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on February 3, though Davenport learned the first car might roll off the assembly line a few days earlier.
