Yup…they're just building too many of them. I'm not even sure if they've lifted the overtime hours yet at Bowling Green. Obviously, I'm a big Corvette fan, having owned several and two currently; but I'll never understand why they won't adjust production more to keep demand really high? Sure, I get that their methods probably end up generating more sales and profit. It just seems like it wouldn't be enough to warrant diluting the unique appeal of their signature car.

Yup…I also understand that. However, as you probably know, any dealer with decent allocation always wants to maintain that allocation unless sales get really bad, in that they want to be able to get cars during the next increase in demand. And as you indicated above, ultimately GM can control/manage the production in any way they see fit. Naturally GM doesn't care about my opinion, but as a lifetime marketing guy I just get frustrated knowing how much they could further enhance Corvette's image if they managed the sales end differently…Oh well……..
