Black wheels also were the top choice for the Z06 with 53.8% going with the dark wheel color. The Chrome Z06 wheels were 2nd with 26.5% of buyers.

We broke out the final 2015 Corvette product statistics below based on the data provided by the National Corvette Museum. However, we also tried to break out the percentage of production. Some of the numbers we got from GM were combined Stingray/Z06 while other options were Stingray only or Z06 only. Wherever possible, we computed the percentages based on either Stingray or Z06 production. If the numbers were combined, the percentages were based on the total production of 34,240 Corvettes for 2015.

You started two threads on the same subject?

 

one was 2014 stats other was 2015

 

Overall sales was down about 4 thousand from 2014?

 

That appears to be correct when I added the sales up on my 2014 thread. One thing I don't know is how many months each included. Did the 14 come out early and have more months to accumulate sales than the 15? I don't know the answer, just questioning if that is the case.

Also constraints could be a factor as well? Again just a thought have no numbers to support either theory.

 

Thanks for posting the breakdown. Interesting to see what was ordered last model year.

 

To me the most amazing stat is: convertibles are only at 16% of total sales (14% for Stingray and 19% for Z06 - well below the 30% forecast take rate.

 

You would think more convertibles than coupes. I will never purchase another targa top car especially after owning a C7 convertible. Top is up or down with just a push of the switch, with the C6 targa I took the top off maybe five times each summer. Another surprise is white, such a boring color, l owned a white C4 convertible with a black interior and matching top. After a few months I got tired of the white. Didn't make any difference if you polished it or not, just no sparkle. Wonder what the new color choices are going to be for 2017?

 

Funny, I was going to buy a Boxster S. Then a vert stingray.

But when I saw that the coupe could do double duty, I went that route. I remove the top, or did before it got cold, almost daily. I have two roofs at that, and call the translucent the winter roof. It takes me about 30 seconds to remove or install it.

I really like ten trunk space..

And I went with white because it isn't glossy. Also why I didn't go with the black wheels. Glossy black wheels put me off. I'm one of the few with the hot looking machine faced wheels.

Just sayin... I find it interesting what people buy. Personally, I can't do gloss or chrome, and I have no idea why those qualities put me off so much.

If GM offered a glossy pearl white only, I would have gone with another color.. FWIW

Where was Crystal Red? 2015 was last year for Crystal Red. Great color IMHO

 

That would be me

 

I was set to get a vert until my wife asked, where will the dogs sit?

 

I have owned only Vert Vettes until the C7 Coupe. But Binky needed a seat so a coupe it was! My first Coupe.




Besides, in the Florida Inferno the top would come down two or three weeks in the spring and in the winter. This year it was just too hot to take it off much at all. Almost December and my AC is still running!

I don't get White being the most popular color either. But to each their own. I guess gone are the days where "All Corvettes are Red"...
