Brochure?
Hey guys,
Before I make a trip to a chevy dealer, do they have brochures yet with pictures of all the different options, prices, colors, etc?
I would like to go get one but I don't want to make a special trip in vain.
Thanks.

I have a feeling the dealers will be hanging on to those brochures like they are gold. They don't want anyone who's not somewhat serious having one ... at least that's how the dealers around here have been in the past.

I want a physical one as well
My dealer says they have not shipped them yet... Once they arrive I get one that day. I would think at this point should be any day unless their waiting for the official SAE numbers to publish.

A brochure would be nice. When I was shopping for a C6, the dealers looked at me like I was asking for the Necronomicon.
I fail to understand why dealers wouldn't want to put brochures in the hands of everybody walking in the store. Isn't that how you get future buyers hyped? I know it is a digital age where nothing is tangible anymore, but kids still put pictures on their walls.
Contrast this to Porsche, where (at least here in San Antonio) there is always lots of literature as soon as you walk in. I got a hardbound book just for looking at a Cayman R. Granted the Porsches are lots more expensive, but the experience felt more special.
The corvette is a special car too, I wish the dealers would act like it and respect one's interest in it. Maybe that's just the dealers in my neck of the woods.

I think the dealerships are just trying to put the Corvette on a higher pedestal.
But Haveblue has a good point. If you walk into a high-end exotic dealership, or even a Mercedes or BMW dealership, they always have brochures on their highest end cars ready for you. Seems that GM dealerships are a little counter-intuitive with the brochures. Perhaps they don't know what they're actually for. LOL

Here at the local dealership, one must talk directly to the sales manager to get a Corvette brochure, with the explanation being that they don't have very many, so they try to give them to actual potential buyers.
I'm thinking that the brochure for the Stingray is going to be impressive.
