Cam, as was the case 25 years ago the District Managers from Oshawa are saying today that the roll out of the E-Ray is going to be slow for Canada.
They still look at the Corvette as being a low volume product and being a small piece of the overall business, hence no effort or attention is given to the product.
My thoughts are by the time they get around to building some E-Rays for Canada we will be touching winter, hence the slow roll out for Canada.

Next time you speak to them tell them Cameron is planning on being the first Canadian to winter drive his E-Ray and will chronicle it on my Youtube channel!

Seriously, can't wait to rip it daily for work, cottage etc. I may even install a Thule Roof Box...

I've been looking around for snow tires, but no luck as of yet.

When is the next round of allocation? If the production doesn’t start till late October, will there likely be allocation released in Sep?

It's hard to say. From what I've read GM doesn't want the union holding up the E-Ray release and I've also read anything more than a 2 week strike really harms the union.

So hopefully early September allocations otherwise GM would be leaving it really late (2 weeks after Sept 14th strike date) to release allocations for an October 23rd start of production.

I've been in a union most of my life and through several strikes. On average after about 2 weeks you begin to lose any gains from the strike. Of course it depends on the actual settlement. Keeping in mind that this will all happen again 3 years from now it really hurts to go much longer than 2 weeks.

Depends on the demands. From what I hear they want a 4 day work week. That might just be a bargaining ploy, but things like that can get really sticky. I was referring to monetary gains. Strike pay helps but there is only so much in that kitty. I've been retired for too long now, but as I recall losing 2 weeks pay = about 3.8% of your yearly salary. So 6 weeks you lose about 11% of your yearly salary with a 6 week strike. That's a lot of cash!
