C8 production site

Will all models be produced at the bowling green facility?

Can they satisfy the demand, or will other plants be needed?

And all all in the USA I hope.

You've repeated that on more than one thread. Why? What's the point?

Build America’s sports cars outside the USA? Not going to happen.

The single site production model for the corvette at BGA is not going to change - not unless they start producing 100K corvettes a year. I predict stronger then normal sales for the first 2-3 years. Who knows, they may see 40K+ sales the first few years (that would be great).

The BGA outlot can probably only hold 1500-2000 cars at a time so it would be very difficult for them to pre-build 5000-10000 cars. While this is a large production volume relative to exotics it is a small production facility and volume relative to the rest of GM.
