RedRocket1647545505 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 My stepfather said he heard this today. I haven't Googled it yet, but just figured I'd post here to see if anyone has heard anything about it. Supposed to be temporary, according to him, but still makes me if it's true.

Ry_Trapp01647545522 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 nope. the corvette is one of GMs bigger money makers(not as much as the trucks, but one of the higher profit cars) because they sell so many each year(35k-40k per year).

rockt.talon Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 yeah, worked in the plant for a year and a half. cool things about corvettes, everyone they build is sold already, whether it be a dealership or private seller. Yes, they are working two weeks and are laid off two weeks, but the line will continue to run, and plus when they released the ZR1 for sale, they sold out of the first 2 1/2 years worth of them. want to see some cool shots http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p53/brian-preston/Corvette/DSC06190.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p53/brian-preston/Corvette/DSC06192.jpg yea these shots are back behind the plant and are the first 12 prototype ZR1 were built on the line way back in december of 07... ... these vets will never see a seller, they are just the MVB test cars. if u need corvette scoop let me know i fill ya in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReddyZ06 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 want to see some cool shots http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p53/brian-preston/Corvette/DSC06192.jpg Very cool photo! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 If there sold already, why do dealerships have them for sale on the lots? Wouldnt they go straight to the owner? Maybe a portion but all? I want to see the corvette come down to around $15,000 new. My tax dollars bailed them out I want to be able to afford one. Is there any real reason they are so uch more expensive than say a kia? The parts are all made the same way or at least can be made to do so. Fuck the demand so we raise the price bullshit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1647545496 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Will. Never. Happen. True story. and IF it ever did corvette would become it's own brand. the same way it is marketed in europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic_Influx Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I can't say that I believe it will really happen. But if it did, I'd really enjoy seeing the Corvette name going solo. That could lead to some really interesting and exciting results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feffman Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Not everyone is a Vette fan, but BS aside, the C6 is a damn good car and "NO" I don't own/drive one. If GM kills the Vette, and I find it hard to believe they would, they will have an uprising. I'd be willing to bet more people own Vettes in the USA then voted for Obama! What surprised me was GM taking Pontiac (pseudo "Sport" division with the G8 and Solstice) out and keeping GMC trucks. Seems they could have much easier kept Pontiac and rebadeged GMC as Chevy, but I guess Pontiac sales were pretty dismal. Hang on!

Turbotrio Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 We will be down in Bowling Green, KY this weekend so we will have to see what the word is down there. Dealers are all talk about the new GT1 and Grand-sport editions coming out soon (Still C6-based) and just talked like the only uncertainty was when the C7 would be coming out.
