08 Observation
Out of curiosity I just Checked Jeff Hardy and there are still 7891 08's sitting on dealer's lots with the 09's rolling in (472 on the lots right now along with 360 2007's)
That 7891 represents around 25% of the 08 production. It's pretty obvious that the general public doesn't get the deals we get here on the Forum as I NEVER see an Employee pricing ad anywhere but here. I wonder when ALL Chevy Dealers will start advertising heavy discounts on the 07's thru 09's, and start offering some real finance deals (0% anyone)?

That was for 2007's, GM is offering 5.9% on 2008/2009 vettes now. The point the OP makes with about 8000 08's available and nearly 2000 of them are Z06's should drive GM to do something to help move them so low financing may make sense. There is a private mailing rebate for 1500 that some people are getting and there was a 3000 private mailing rebate back in May also. I don't know how to get on the list for these and I have called GM several times and asked to be put on the list, I guess they don't care about existing customers and are looking for new ones.

usually regional never includes Fl. I'm sure GM feels that this is a 4 season Summer State and the Vette sales will always be strong here

Very different from my travels through out south Florida where I travel 250 miles per day on average.
