C8 Convertible: 2021 only??

[Rruuff Day]

I look at it as we have 10% of the US population therefore we will receive 10% of the Convertible production.

Inaugural year of the C7, Canada received a touch over 3% of total production.

"Scott Bell" said at a Corvette dinner in Kingston last year that Canada receives 5% of total sales!

Well, he's wrong. Check any year and you will find it's around 10%

Clarification:
It was at a C8 Canadian reveal last July so I think he was referring to the new C8 and expected upcoming deliveries of the C8

Well, that would be interesting for sure. That could only mean a GM preference of the U.S. market. I doubt Canada has a lack of interest in the C8

Here's a comparison of US vs Canada C7 sales. For example, 37,288 were built in 2014. 34,839 sold in the US. 1,181 sold to Canada and 1,268 sold to overseas markets. That equates to 3.16% of the total built that came to Canada.

By 2017 Canada climbed to receiving over 5%, by 2018 up to about 8%, to about 9.5% for 2019. These last numbers do not include the overseas sales in the total built so the true calc Canadian percentage of cars received would be slightly less than those last numbers.

nice report ! So there are over 600 2020 Vettes in Canada
Question: why are there so many repetitive numbers?
