I predicted that almost three years ago and no one believed me.

Yes and who would have thought the C8 would be now on hold until who knows when? Plus I wonder if people will even be able to follow through with their purchases. I have seen numerous discussions around including over at the Corvette Forum about people who took out money from IRA's and 401k's to buy cars and they are now saying that they won't.

Actually, some 2020s were built. We've had two people in my town get theirs.

Production at BG was stopped due to the China Virus. As the soonest plant re-start would occur would be sometime in May, which was close to model year change over. GM just decided that all cars made after the restart will be 2021s.

As for people taking money out of IRAs and 401Ks to buy a f**king car are kinda nuts but, given what's happened to the markets and what will happen in the short-term going forward, I can see why people are changing their minds.

Nevertheless, I think the C8 will conrtinue to do well.

On a side not, I am amazed at the number of C8s that automotive Internet "influencers" are buying then using in incredibly dumbassed videos on YouTube.

Too much horsepower is almost enough !
