[QUOTE="gone, post: 287931, member: 5899"] I'm not one to advocate a "GM boycott" which would be akin to hitting one's head against the wall, hoping the wall will move. However if there's a [U]natural progression[/U] of Canadian buyers away from GM products due to GM "boycotting" the Canadian market by choking off Canadian allocations, then that should have an effect over time on GM's Canadian market share. It won't happen quickly nor as a result of an organized campaign. With fewer Corvette allocations to Canada, the GM Corvette market share is already shrinking here. I suspect it will be further eroded by buyers deciding to put their money elsewhere, when they think they could be driving something else sooner. [U]OR[/U] maybe I'm an exception (?)...seeing myself (for example) behind the wheel of a Lotus Emira in a year rather than the 2 years I'll have to wait for a Z06. Right now, GM is likely banking on being able to sell all C8's it can produce. When that changes (in a few years for the C8 Stingray? or with the C9 buyers, if electric proves less popular amongst the traditional internal combustion sport car crowd?) GM may then regret what it's doing now to its Canadian buyer base. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
