we will just have to wait and see if all the new one and two star
people doing allot of the raving, have the money, or credit rating
for the thing.

Or should say year two. Because all the got to have the newest
will be climbing over one another. Once they are cleared, see if
sale hold or decline.

They only have an interest in those that will buy the car.

If they sell 25k in year one, they will care even less.

People who hate it have every right for that opinion. But they are delusional to think their opinion will force people not to buy it or force GM to change. Just as no one can force someone who hates it to like it.

If hey meet their sales goals then they will be proven to have strategic vision. If not they will pay the price.

They Don't care what people think about the car....AS LONG AS....enough other people end up buying it.

If you don't buy it they could care less.....AS LONG AS.... enough other people do.

There are 300 million people in the USA..... They only need to hit a very tiny percentage of them to win......
Excellent post and a very important point about the C7 and GM.

For what it's worth, I owned the following C6's, 2006, 2008, and currently own a 2010 GS vert. I like the entire C7 design and plan on purchasing a C7 TR Z51 vert as soon as it becomes available!

I know its a photoship but this car is going to look great with an aggressive wheel/tire package.

Think 1979 was the best selling year of Corvette with 53,000 being sold. Dont really think GM intends the Corvette to sell crazy numbers. Around 30,000 is normal sales figures. I know I buy used. I never bought a brand new car. That effects the sales numbers as well.

GM should be worried about pissing off current Corvette owners because we are the main people that will buy the car!
