Goal of 30,000 Corvette Stingray sales per year - realistic or not? - Page 3

I personally really like the rear tail lamps.

I think it's one of the coolest things about the C7.

Agreed, I love the rear end.

brother, definitely bad@ss. I think they will get close to 30k in the first year and over that in the 2nd year when the economy improves.

They are definitely bad a$@! I second that statement. That's the part of the vette that stands out the most!

I like to stare at its sexy rear...

According to my dealer the 2014 allocations call for approximately between 12000 and 12800. For the 2015 i do not know. I trust the guy i am working with i have bought my other vettes from them and have never been BS by them

That sounds a little on the low side/ too similar to current production numbers.

It doesn't make sense for GM to predict sales of 30k and only dole out 12.5 k in allocations for the year. Maybe that allocation # is a preliminary amount for the first half of the production year?

GaBoy25 · 01-25-2013, 08:35 PM

I would certainly hope so.

Are allocations done permanently or is this until dealers start reporting back sales and then cars are sent based on that?

OctaneZ28 · 01-25-2013, 11:50 PM

Initial allocations are for the first 6-9 months.

I dont think 30,000 a year is obtainable for a two seat mid class sportscar.

For a totally revolutionized and highly marketed Corvette, I wouldn't rule out Chevy at least doubling their sales... this C7 is bar none the most popular and highly desirable sports car this year. Almost like the introduction of the iPhone... it's that hot!
