    GM - May Show & Tell C8??

    Almost. Did you mean to say "perpetually get driven"? Could it be that the C8 will be the last Corvette ever?

    GM - May Show & Tell C8??

    Ahh, the C9. Which of course, we all know will be hybrid, electric or completely autonomous.

    GM - May Show & Tell C8??

    I agree. And not only improvements, but more models as well. I've seen a lot of the speculatory articles written. Especially the one outlining the GS and GT as upcoming models. Even with the validity of those articles in doubt, the one thing history tells us is that the longer you wait, the...

    C8 $170K?? USD??

    Reflecting on the recent announcements of GM plant closures, and the suggestions that the remaining plants will be required to operate at minimum 80% capacity, if the C8 is targeted for only 20,000 units in its first year, as you suggest may be the case, then it stands to reason that at least...

    C8 $170K?? USD??

    I read online (ya, I know) that Acura only sold a combined 850 NSX's in the U.S. for 2016 and 2017 model years. It was always intended to be a niche vehicle. By comparison, the C7 peaked at 34,839 in 2014. Entirely on entry level Stingray's and Z51's in the first model year. With all of...

    Delayed ..?

    I think that its noteworthy that just last week, GM announced the sale of 2019 Corvettes to the Phillipines starting Jan 2019, and then shortly after, we hear about the delay in the C8 intro. I'm not sure that GM would have moved forward with adding a new market for the C7 if they intended to...

    Sirius Radio ... suspending service for the winter

    Not once so far have they been able to properly group them all on a single account accessible through the website log in. It’s a bit frustrating but in the end it works out pretty good yearly. Just have to be willing to give up that hour on the phone with them in the spring. 😂 Their current...

    Sirius Radio ... suspending service for the winter

    I heard from other users that Sirius seems to have different rules for different people. I've never been charged a fee to suspend my service (this is my 3rd year doing it). With Sirius, you can pull up your account history online, and show them that you've done this before. Also, when...

    Sirius Radio ... suspending service for the winter

    For those of us with Sirius radio subscriptions... just a reminder that you can suspend your service for either 3 or 6 months. Just call to cancel, but inform the CSR that you wish to suspend. However, it's important to note that you MUST renegotiate your package BEFORE the suspension...

    ordered a 2019 stingray convertible last week

    Welcome to the forum. Canadian Vettes automatically come with a really attractive front plate holder, which the dealer will install of course. I also supplied the dealer with plastic plate protectors.

    Delivery wait time 2019

    The reason for the six mth delay is that no Vettes are delivered to Canada during the winter mths. Cars ordered in the fall are delivered in the spring. Otherwise, the only other factor that slows things down is that Bowling Green no longer produces as many Vettes per day since the new...

    Extended Warranty

    Remember that they can make the warranty active as soon as you purchase it, not on the 3yr original warranty expiry date. So you will want to have all of the paperwork signed at least 3-4 weeks before the original warranty expires, as it took that long for the card to arrive in the mail.

    Extended Warranty

    You can continue to negotiate with them. I negotiated my price for the 7 yr (additional 4 yr) , 80k plan last fall. I had them down to $2545, which they gave me in writing (via email). And they honoured that price last month when I went in to do the actual purchase of the warranty.

    Recommended body shop - GTA West?

    It’s all good. The best part of the Forum is the exchanging of info and experiences. What works for one may not work for another.

    Answered Extended Warranty .... GMPP vs FCPP

    Just to clarify.... the 7 year warranty is 4 more years, which takes you to 2022, or 80,000, whichever comes first. (Remembering that many buyers opt for the warrantly at time of purchase...hence 7 years) My understanding is that with the GMPP, the dealer can initiate the work on their own...
