[QUOTE="gone, post: 283137, member: 5899"] I don't see that as a good thing; just the opposite. The stats: 2020: Canadian allocations: 7.3%; US allocations: 91.2% 2021: Canadian allocations: 7.2%; US allocations: 89.9% 2022: Canadian allocations: 3.9%; US allocations: 91.0% Then the Canadian allocation percentages get worse for 2023 Q1 and Q2, so we're now likely sitting at less than half what we used to get in 2020 and 2021. As Murray said, GM is giving what used to be the Canadian allocations to Japan, Australia and (mostly) Europe. If GM continues to expand allocations for those other markets and the trend continues of taking those away from Canada (leaving the US the same) then we'll continue to get fewer allocations as time goes on. So GM is purposely starving the Canadian C8 market. This has nothing to do with COVID but represents a marketing strategy shift, where Canada is the loser. With GM wanting to take on the Porsche market in Europe, I expect more Z06 allocations going to Europe and even fewer to Canada. Hence the reason I've put a deposit on the new mid-engine Lotus Emira. Good luck to my fellow Canucks who choose to wait for the fewer and fewer Canadian C8 Stingrays and Z06's...hopefully you're younger than me with more "driving time" down the road and don't mind doing without for another year or two or ?.
