I live in the Pa., close to Delaware. I have only seen a few to date. Been in San Diego and Orange County, Ca. Since April 19th, have only seen four to date. See only Porsche and Benz out here.

If you are speaking of Corvettes, I haven't seen any of the rental car companies with C7's for rent. Now C6....they even made a "Hertz" edition (in YELLOW), your choice of coupe or convertible.

We ALL know that....trucks/SUV's are THE profit for EVERY car company.
But calling nearly $2 billion in sales of a sports car in a year a "blip" is silly. Ask Mazda if they'd like $2 billion in sales in Miatas, or Jaguar on the F-Type, or Porsche on the Cayman/Boxster, etc....

Last Thursday I went to our Corvette Club meeting and there were 5 of them there including mine. Plus the club's VP has one as well and didn't bring his. There must be a larger percentage of them down here. Guess it's the weather because I usually see one at least every time we go out.

Just checked Orlando Hertz for our trip in December to visit parents. 2874.00 USD Per Week for a 2014 C7......AIN'T gonna happen!!!
BTW, that is before all the attached fees and taxes.....

They're being bought and hidden in garages. Way too many people buy them then dont drive them. I know a few guys who have C5's with under 3000 miles on a 2000 and 2003. They just look at them and wont drive them. They're never going to be 67 L88's.

But I agree... it's not a big deal... you can rent lots of other sports cars too. Bottom line is it has not meaningful impact on the sales numbers quoted.
