Yea, right!
I don't think you are going to see that at all with C7's.
Don't forget, many of having been waiting for the C7 for 2 years now!
Not to mention the Overseas potential.

^ The President of GM was just recently interviewed (was posted on here) and to your point said emphatically, the old GM 'make as many as we can, shove em to dealers and give incentives & rebates to sell em' is GONE. No more PUSH manufacturing - now Dealer PULL manufacturing. Customer Cash Programs will range from $500 to $2500. And this across the entire GM portfolio, not just Corvette or Chevrolet.

Will it work - will it last - I guess time will tell.

Call Dave @ Kerbeck and either do a courtesy deliver to yours (El Dorado Chev ??) or do Museum pickup, either way you can have one for Christmas..

HOWEVER......
Why just 1 teaser shot.
The person with the camera or phone must have clicked off a few more.

just got this in an email;

"Rick, my wife just called me from BG where she tried unsuccessfully to get some pictures from the ground. She was stopped by the guard and not allowed to get to where she needed to be to get any pictures.

She did say she saw the transporters that were in my previous aerial picture and they are all empty. Which is what we have expected"

Seeing all that production of C7's accumulating on the lot at BG got me to thinking about numbers - cash numbers.

If the lot holds 1,400 cars, which I believe has been stated previously, and the C7's have an average MSRP of say $62,500, the full lot would have a combined value of $87 1/2 million dollars.

Cha Ching . . . . .

Someone needs to get on that lot and shoot a few panorama shots.

But thanks for posting - very cool photo.

Exactly... good idea...
GM should actually be showing the sea of 7's waiting to ship for sales/marketing. Instagram and Tweet it too! Show the transporters loading and leaving to make every one visit dealerships to see them! It's not rocket science!

Sorry, I was watching the weather on the local news while reading this thread and it was kind of scary. All those "eggs" in one basket.
