Why "only" ? 19.5% is great. Cadillac and Lincoln would kill to be up 19.5%.

Yeah, I was looking all the way over to the YTD comparisons column. Correct, it was actually a very good month. My mistake.

@smk4565 Where are all of the positives?

Chevy sells more 2-3X more Corvettes with a manual transmission than Mercedes sells AMG GTs in a year. Maybe they should get rid of the AMG GT because they sell so few. -

Read above numbers. The last two entire model years they sold 22% Corvettes with manual transmissions. I'll let you look up 2017. If they sold 20% with manual transmissions, that's roughly 3000-6000 per year for the last ten years. -

I truly believe their sales will dip once the bulk of buyers who have been waiting for one get theirs because of the lack of a manual transmission. The most recent total sales number breakdown for Corvettes was 2018 model year(as 2019 isn't over yet) 2123 manual transmission sales - 21.9% 7563 auto transmission sales - 78.1% 9686 total 2018 model year Corvettes sold(not sales in 2018). https://www.corvetteblogger.com/docs/2018CorvetteFINALYearEnd.pdf -

Oh, throw in a manual transmission and I'm done. ?
-
We had some hacked up consumer vehicles turned into mail carriers come into the shop I worked at and I only drove them around the parking lot(for the final QC for torquing the lugnuts) and it's weird as hell. I'm sure it doesn't take long to get used to but it is such an odd feeling being on the "wrong" side of the vehicle.

Have you ever driven anything right-hand drive?

Chevrolet News:Corvette C8 Almost Sold Out Already
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
I've driven both and there is absolutely no way it takes the same level of skill to drive an auto as a manual. I actually didn't think I would ever see the day where somebody would actually say that it takes the same amount of skill to flip a paddle as it does to bang through gears in a manual transmission. -
Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Silverado Diesel Gets 33mpg Highway
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
From what I thought I remembered it was priced the same as the 6.2 and the 6.2 is only offered in the LTZ trim(and up) with 4WD meaning $50,040. I don't know what that means for the lower trims, if it's available or not.- 38 replies

I have to say if this was offered in a full EV or plug-in hybrid sales would go through the roof ditching the ancient dirty gasoline.- 28 replies

To each their own. I find it completely irrelevant and that's okay. You find it relevant and that's okay. There it is. It's CHEAPER. -
Chevrolet News:Corvette C8 Almost Sold Out Already
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
Because it's another hack-job-aftermarket-company-EV- job done to the previous generation. Irrelevant because it is never going to happen. Any, literally ANY, car can be sent to a specialized company and have them throw in electric motors and batteries. Is it cool if I found an article on a 2013 Ford Escape where some company took the engine out and plopped batteries in and put an electric motor, or four, in it? Irrelevant, right? There are hundreds of examples like that, aftermarket electric companies swapping engines and fuel tanks for batteries and motor(s). If somebody did that to the new C8, that's a story and a pretty fun story at that. An no, I never got a boner over that EV Mustang. I'd, personally, never want a muscle car that lacks a V8. Dfelt and I have talked about it before. It isn't a Ford VS Chevy thing. it is an EV vs every single thread thing. -

Find'em. Yeah, completely irrelevant that an aftermarket company turned the last gen into an EV. -
X4 and X6, please. That is insane they are talking of axing the vehicle that is what, 6 months old? There's one in my town and it's beautiful(coupe). ..3 Series GT is equally as hideous and awkward as the X4 and X6.. Good thing that is on its way out.

I mean, you're not wrong. Find a thread where he's posted in that doesn't have one comment about EV/hybrids. Betcha can't. No, his was a picture of an EV C7. -
Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Silverado Diesel Gets 33mpg Highway
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
I've thought this as well.. Smaller, lighter, smaller diesel... The transmission difference has shown to not make THAT large of a difference. 4WD: 19/28/22 (city/highway/comb) 2WD: 20/30/23 Compared to the Silverado's 3.0 4WD: 23/29/25 2WD: 23/33/27- 38 replies

Nissan News: Nissan Readies the Guillotine for its Model Lineup
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Nissan
Can Nissan go, as a whole? Please. -
I mean Ford has the Mustang and GT and Chevy has the Camaro and Corvette.. But who's counting? And Caddy has or will have CT variants that are sports cars.

175 mile range probably turns into 70 when you're driving something like that the way it was intended to be driven.
