    Pick a thread, any thread. *surreal arguing with somebody* *dfelt forcing EVs"

    Chevy has sold 1636 ZR1's to private parties and the car has only been on sale/produced since MARCH. . So no, Chevy will still sell more ZR1 trimmed Corvettes than Mercedes will sell AMG GTs. https://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/specs/c7-corvette/corvette-zr1-registry/ Also, 30% of which are manual transmission. As much as I love the AMG GT, the new Vette will whoop it sales-wise and I'd wager money that id would whoop it on a race track as well.

    @Drew Dowdell control your people.

    WTF are you even going on about at this point? Are you trying to argue to just argue or what? I stated an opinion that their lineup doesn't need "major changes and style updates" and that 19.5% is great, regardless of sample size.

    Also... margins.

    I never said they were "boomin". My response was to:

    I don't think Mercedes needs to do anything other than a little trimming of the fat because their products are at the top or close to the top in all of their respective segments. I know they're down for the year but I don't understand the wording of "only" being up 19.5%.
  9. ccap41
    Why "only" ? 19.5% is great. Cadillac and Lincoln would kill to be up 19.5%.

    Welcome!

    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 2-3X more**
  14. ccap41
    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.
  15. ccap41
    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

    Charging for chrome should be punishable by prison time.
  18. ccap41
    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?
  21. ccap41
    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.

    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.
  23. ccap41
    Bull. Sh!t. Not even comparable.
  24. ccap41
    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.
  25. ccap41
    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.
