The salesman should be real tight lipped about it... do you really believe GM would spend millions of dollars on a one year run? How about I sell you some ocean front property in Quartzsite, Az.? PLLLLLEEEEASE!

He said it was so bad they changed the tail lights on the 2014 camaro and now people are complaining about that...

If the salesperson actually said these things, then he is seriously misinformed. As my good friend Paul Pearson (talon90) says, "Those who know aren't talking and those who are talking don't know." Truer words were never spoken.

Some car salesman have a great gift of gab. Sometimes they make stuff up to keep the conversation going. Sometimes they even start believing it

He doesn't. I can't believe you are actually listening to him. Your salesman is the last person who would know anything about Corvette development.

What's the matter with you? The salesman was spot on. He left out a few things however. It's going to have 10 spd DCT and AWD. It will have a better paint job and fit and finish. The 2016 will be mid engine 6 turbo pushrod V12 with a diesel V4 option and will look like a Porsche. The grille will be blacked out. Corvette will be an independent Chinese company and Chevrolets will go the way of of Pontiac and Oakland. Pop up headlamps will return as will wooden floor boards and leaf springs.

I'll cut you some slack. None of us knows everything there is to know about the upcoming models. But this dealer needs to be avoided at all costs. He has zero clue. Just trying to sell you something now.

What an idiot to even say something like that.

salesman obviously lives in denver, stood in line all day on the 1st, when he got to the counter, they were all out of deep-purple-magik-ganja and he had to settle for a bag of shrooms the sales-clerk kept under the counter for customers so bummed out by the lack of legal narcotics that he threatened to vote republican in the next national election...

I think what made this true is that you posted it on the internet! Cause everyone knows if it's on the internet it must be true!
