[QUOTE="Neils, post: 265518, member: 7582"] I think someone had a comment for this statement some time ago, but going to repeat it again. With the insane success and thru the roof demand GM has on their hands, they could easily open another vette plant, probably even with 2 shifts, and still not meet the global demands for this car, let alone the North American market. And with demand like that, heck even push the price up a bit more (I sure hope not) to enjoy the fruits of their success (instead of others profiting from it). Instead, it looks like the rule of keep supply (fairly) low to keep demand high will remain in place and the car will remain in high demand for many years to come, odds are keeping aftermarket pricing high as well. I know someone will come along as compare this to the C7 scenario of initial hype and it dying off after a short period (the previous comment I as referring to), but I doubt that comparison can be made here, this model has turned the automotive industry on it's head globally. Success is an understatement. To the potential production numbers posted above for the Z06, with Canadian dealers having Z06 lists hundreds deep and some of the bigger US dealers with lists in the thousands long, with a potential production of 12k-15k per year, it will take several years (maybe up to 5 and beyond) just to meet that demand. Crazy just thinking about it. I am hoping the E-Ray falls into a sweet spot where not too many people are interested in it, and those of us wanting a Z06 looking car with good specs but less expensive and shorter wait list will benefit from that sweet spot. In the meantime, as to the topic of this thread hoping for better Canadian deliveries (especially during the winter months) gonna be a long wait for many of us, and I honestly think that once the '23 model allocations come around, we will see better times, until then .... !!
