Over 40K Corvettes in 2016. It was a good year for BG!

Very strong numbers. Despite the controversy when the C7 was introduced, It's pretty obvious now that the styling designers complemented the engineering team well for an overall winner. In my travels abroad, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of C7s I saw; the strategy to make the car more appealing outside the US and Canada also appears to have worked well.

2017 will be interesting. The Grand Sport should help buffer any downturn caused by those on the fence about buying because of the buzz about the C8. The GS appears to be one hell of a deal! It's a great time to be a Vette fan.

That is 22K+ Z06 in 2years, C6 Z06 had 27K and some change for a 8 year run.

Very good numbers considering the 3rd year of production. From what I've seen, a lot of old men are cashing in their 401ks that normally may have purchased older models. I think Harley numbers are up too.
