That's my guess as to when the ME C8 will be introduced. Of course, this is just a guess, but I do base it on what makes sense to me after considering everything that I have read and heard. The NYC show is in 7 weeks and the car could be introduced then. However, what makes more sense to me is a world wide inter net introduction from the GM Renaissance Center at their Detroit headquarters, sometime by the end of May, or possibly before. I recently learned that the BG factory plans on stopping the production of 2019 C7's by June. Think about that. If true, that says much about the future. GM will not close the factory down for an undetermined lengthy amount of time. Production of the 2020 ME C8 could begin by the end of summer at the latest. Right now there are over 9000 new C7's sitting on dealer's lots. Two dealers that I have spoken to are pushing the sale of current inventory big time with customer incentives as opposed to special ordering a car for a customer. Customer orders and dealer floor orders are almost nil at this moment. In fact, one dealer of which I know has an unfulfilled allocation for a 2019 ZR1. The reason for this post is simply food for thought, for that is what car forums are really all about. If you agree, disagree or have no opinion one way or the other, that is fine with me. If you want to criticize simply because you feel that there have been too many posts about speculation, well, that's on you. It would be greatly appreciated by me, and probably many others, if those criticisms are kept to ones self. Other than that, I welcome all opinions.

In for the free post before the lock.

I wish something made sense. If this thing don't work there will an outcry the land has never seen (quoting Moses)

FWIW spoke with one of the large corvette dealers yesterday asking them if they had any kind of list or were taking deposits. His reply was simply "shortly"...
Took that as encouraging..

It could mean that production of 2020 C7s starts in June/July as well.

So much wrong info in this thread. I hope no one makes their plans based on the suppositions here.

vndkshn

Yup. Another "I heard" or "I learned" without any hard evidence or facts.

And while it is true dealers will offer great deals on cars sitting in lots, they will still order cars. I've chatted with two in DFW about ordering a Z while they have a couple sitting on their lots and there are a few in the region. And no ZR1 allocations that I have heard of within 250 miles of DFW.

And you know this how? His theory makes sense to me. The car has to come out sometime soon.

GM will make their move when they are good and ready to release the info on the 2021 or 2022 ME vehicle. People need to throttle down and just idle along. All these nonsense posts ARENOT going to speed up ANYTHING. Throttle down, turbo. Throttle...down.

Plexoer

Now were just assuming it's not a 2020?

Elegant, your etiquette is none of my business but it would be reasonable to think that you would share with the forum why the poster was wrong.

He'd like to tell you but he would have to kill you and everyone else on the forum, plus their family....

Considering that I stated in the fist sentence that what I had to say was just a GUESS that, to me, made sense, why don't you enlighten me with what you KNOW to be true or false.

That is why I stated that what I had to say was my guess. And, I did not say that dealer cannot order customer cars at this time. The only statement that I made where I said I heard was about customer orders ending by June. An I heard that from 2 Corvette dealers, both of which are 2 of the top selling Corvette dealer in the country. Lastly, because you have not heard of a dealer within 250 miles of Dallas that has an allotment for a ZR1 does not mean that no dealer in the country does.

Yet another wasted thread on when the C8 will be revealed. We haven't had one for several days so I guess we were due.

RonnieC6Z

So if this kind of post is nonsense, why did you take the time to both read it and then respond. When I am on the forum, if I see a post that does not interest me, I just move on. You may think about doing much the same.

This thread can't be too much of a waste because
1. Some folks read it and responded with intelligent thought.
2. You took the time to both read it and inject a negative response. But i guess that made you feel a bit better.

Sub Driver

Nope...its a complete waste. Now lets start the countdown for then next useless speculative reveal thread.

Quinten33

Exactly. What some may call his source, he may call his good friend. Why would he ever jeopardize a friendship for a little credibility on a forum? Why would he get someone fired or even thrown in jail for that cred? He has his own forum to be credible on, anyways.

Plexoer

Why would he come on here and insert his opinion as fact then? Ronnie gets heat for posting his opinion, and stating so, but it's okay for others? No.

one of the large Corvette dealers said they don’t have a waiting list & weren’t taking deposits yet some here have had deposits in & been on the waitlist for years. Seems like this large Corvette dealer is a bit behind.

Dealers are reluctant to order an expensive, unsold ZR1 and risk of picking unpopular options/colors. Why limit your prospect to a few who likes the dealer's chosen options/colors?

Once they find a buyer at full MSRP they will be more than happy to order one. Besides, not too many allocations are out there.
