[QUOTE="Keith Tedford, post: 65948, member: 1228"] GM was asleep at the switch with the 2014 Corvette. A new model and they still geared production to the 10-12K a year that they had been selling for the last few years. The plant is capable of building at least 35K a year.......with forward planning for parts supply. New models pretty well always sell better when they first come out. Surprise, surprise. By February, they already had orders for 16k cars and couldn't fill them all. Some will wait for a 2015 but a lot of other buyers simply move on, buying another brand. The Corvette has a lot of competition out there and it seems pretty obvious that GM can't afford to be losing any sales due to mismanagement and that is exactly what it is. Then when they did come out with something new we got the Vega, Fiero, SSR, and Solstice. In 2008, there should have been a total shakeup at the top in GM not just a token top boss moved on. The billions our government gave to GM sure seem to have evaporated with no visible gain. That's not to mention all the companies owed money. Same people doing the same things generally get the same results. This isn't God we are talking about, it's GM and something needs to be done and soon. Actually, I think GM is looking at us in the rear view mirror and concentrating on China and south-east Asia. It might just be where all the spare cash is being spent and the North American operations can sink or swim on their own. GM can always export from China. :( [/QUOTE]
