From: Calgary, AB. There's a reason why white was the only color offered on every year Corvette. Proud Canadian German Jamaican!

According to my salesman (same one I ordered my '14 C7 through) the dealership that he's at (also where I got my last two Corvettes from) they sell more Corvettes in western Canada than any other and their allocation for the 2020 C8 was only 21 (of which on is going to be mine).

(and he already had lots of deposits even before the C8 was officially introduced, so chances are that his dealership might not have enough allocation to even sell to everyone who has put down a deposit recently
Not a chance, I don't want everybody and their dog having a C8 up here, not only does it look bad but resale value for our cars will be worthless. Keep the numbers to a minimum up here, it does us absolutely no good flooding the market with C8's.

I’ve been told the allocations are lower than dealers expected. First round is very scarce relatively speaking. Lots of down payments are likely not getting filled with a car.

You can't, just like any other GM unless you want your warranty voided.

Hey, as long as you and I and other forum members have our name on one, I don't care. They could stop selling the C8 in Canada once we receive ours for all I care. People who are waiting for prices to come down or the first model run bs are just wasting time IMO, life's too short not to get what you want when you want.

I could not have said it better myself! Life is FAR too short not to have as much time in fun cars as possible If anything, I hope they keep Canadian allocations LOW for a couple of years. That way, when I want the C8 Z06, I'll get good value for my rare C8 Z51

That might be the entire 2020 allocation based on what some dealers suggest... not just round 1.
