Information Regarding 2013 Corvette Model Run

The 2013 model run is also scheduled to start production in May 2012. The first consensus cycle for the 2013 model run is targeted for March 2012, with the first opportunity to submit orders into production occurring after the conclusion of the March consensus cycle.



The 2013 model run is the final model run for the C6 Corvette. This means for many customers, the 2013 model run will be the last opportunity to purchase the current Corvette models, including Grand Sport, Z06 and ZR1 In addition, the 2013 model run marks the 60th Anniversary of this Great American Sports Car. Information about exciting changes for the 2013 Corvette will be shared with you in the coming weeks.



The 2013 Corvette production period is expected to run for approximately nine months. Dealers planning their Corvette business into 2013 calendar year should plan their inventory needs to last through late summer of 2013. This will require dealers to closely study and plan their sales and inventory needs throughout the condensed 2013 model run. It will also mean the next model run will NOT immediately follow the end of the 2013 model run. Dealers will need to be prepared for several months in 2013 without Corvette production.

Dang! A day late (week) and a dollar short.

I liked your post much better than the Conti one; much more concise and to the point without all the glitz....

RickConti@Coughlin

Thanks, but in retail you have to promote yourself and the product....there are enough delaers with kids representing the car and giving little or wrong data....


and Thank-you to ALD_Z06...sharing the right data is so important today!

Bobbyosto

Sorry Rick, just missed yours and ALD_ZO6's was to the point. I know what you mean about the "kid" thing.

Yeah, but they're so cute.

The plant will be shut down for 6 months starting in March of 2013 for re-tooling on the C7. Think aluminum.

Bobbyosto

Just thought of something since both Rick's have commented on this post; which Corvette do you guys drive or own? Can't remember if I every heard you speak of your own vehicles.

JerriVette

Good info thanks

Rick HendrickAtlanta

Own a Corvette on what a Corvette salesman makes now, you are kidding right.

Cybernetic Medic

Aluminum is so twentieth century. I'd rather think carbon fiber.

Rick HendrickAtlanta

Not where this aluminum is going.

Bobbyosto

No, I'm not kidding at all. All of this Corvette hype and you don't even own one. I'm crushed....
