IMO, GM as effed up the vette for some years now...
The later styling since say C5 SUX......
in fact, C4 is ok, but started the trend......and the last decent looking Vette from the factory was a C3.... I have a suspicion that Vette production will be shut down in a very few years..... |

There's a 1 year waiting list for C8s.
Why would they stop making the car? Making too much money? Too popular? |

soooo, you don't like the looks so you think GM will just stop making the car?
Your opinion is very much in the minority, as evidenced by the thousands of people on waiting lists, and people paying sometimes $30k over MSRP just to have one. |

Let’s see……every C8 vette made to date was pre sold. Every. Single. One. I am on a 4 year wait list for a C8 Z06. Yeah, GM really screwed up.

As others have said, every fricking C8 of 2020 and 2021 have been presold, and they will get close to 30k C8's in 2021. 2022 is sold out, and C8 Z06's will be sold out for years. Your fodder just makes no sense. |

I think the design has gone downhill after the C5 and........the 63 Split Window in my opinion is the best looking vette ever.

Gene: don't like current styling. Ergo, no one else should like it either, thus, no one is buying them.
1. steal underpants 2. something happens 3. profit! little light on step 2 there boss. |

I agree with Gene. Corvette is only selling for 25-40k above sticker. The Z0-6 will probably go for the same amount. In another few year's they'll be only selling them for sticker and GM will go bankrupt.
