@ VINDIC8R: Its not a quota of the total number of units. Its a 3-4% of total production. quota would refer to a limitation on the actual number of units.
In reality GM Canada got almost 4 times the number of vehicles for MY 2014. Throughour 2009-2013 GM Canada only sold about 300 vehicles/year. Whereas in 2014 GM Canada sold close to 1200 C7's -- a 300% increase year over year.
2013 -- US deliveries 17,291 vs Canada deliveries 324 -- about 1.8% of total production
2014 -- US deliveries 34,839 vs Canada deliveries 1181 -- about 3.3% of total production
Production by percentage for Canada actually almost doubled while the number of units went up 4 times.
That takes me back to the exchange rate and relative price which inflated the demand even more in Canada than in US for an equally remarkable product.
Thanks for the data update Owais.
I guess it just reads bad that someone could walk in to a dealer with nearly 100K and not be able to order a car.
So, how does a dealer grow the number of Corvettes he/she can sell? If I am Doug's Chev and I have an allocation of one Corvette and five customers wanting Vettes, how do I get four more Corvettes? Turning away customers cannot be the right answer.
