Who wants to purchased a car from a government owned company? GM should have been in the grave 12 months ago. Instead, the patient is in a permanent vegetative state thanks to the taxpayers.

It's understandable since people are moving away from sports cars to fuel-efficient cars.

Pat,

I really don't think that the buyers (40 to 55 year old, gold chain wearing, fat guys) of new Corvettes give a rat's ass about fuel efficiency. Corvettes are a discretionary purchase and not a need to have purchase.

It must be tough to convince the "old ball and chain" that you need a Vette when she is still driving the 2002 Malibu and has switched from Starbucks coffee to Dunkin Donuts.

I guess Edmunds either forgot about or disregarded 1997. That was the year that the C5 Corvette Coupe debuted and only 9,752 Corvettes were produced.

Although sales are down, many things are looking up for Corvette. The new Grand Sport models are selling briskly, nationwide inventories are being aggressively managed which has reduced supply from well over 8,000 available a year ago to about 2,800 units and the initial demand for the Corvette ZR1 appears to have peaked which should bring pricing back to or below MSRP.
