Chevrolet To Cut Off C7 Corvette Sales On June 23rd

Chevrolet will unveil a brand new generation Corvette on July 18 this year. It will be a vastly different vehicle compared to today’s Corvette C7 and will rely on a mid-engine layout to conquer the mighty supercars of Europe. Time is slowly running out for the outgoing Corvette which, according to a new report, will soon be completely discontinued.

CorvetteBlogger says that the final day for any C7 order will be June 23. There’s a high chance that General Motors won’t have allocations on that day so, if you want to order one of the last C7s built, you should hurry up and put a deposit by June 17. These dates are relevant for custom orders as dealers are expected to retain tens if not hundreds of 2019 Corvettes in stock.

This may end up being a mistake for the Corvette team. A bit like Aston Martin thinking the next Vanquish needs to be a MacLaren copy and has to be mid engined. You give up the spirit of the car and replace it with something that isn't related. It would be funny if they bring back a front engined car for the C9 generation.

The C8 should have been a Corvette above the C7

@MD- Easy peasy. C8, C7, C?? (Boxster competitor). Super SUV, Super sedan. Done.

GM overbuilt the Corvette C8 is still about 7 months (minimum) from being on sale.

So much for the rumors these would be built in parallel. RIP C7.

Sad.

I'm sure production is being cut off so they can re-tool the Bowling Green, KY plant. Chevy will need every extra second they have to re-tool and re-train the workers but despite that, the quality for the first year will still be abysmal.

MD - Enjoy the extra, mucho, Chevy warranty money in your service department, rebuilding all the half-built C8's for the first 18 months.

Believe it or not we are talking about how we will keep customers happy when the Fiero shows up. Meanwhile, we have been doing excellent business selling C7s over the internet as people want to buy the last "true" Corvette.

July 17, 2019. The darkest day in the life of the Corvette.

200 Acura R8's have been sold in 2019. Chevrolet made a huge mistake. The Corvette is bought for LOOKS and performance. The C8 looks horrible.

And more than a few of our customers that own multiple Corvettes agree with you. Right now I can sell every ZO6 I can get my hands on.

That new C8? NOPE. Not gonna buy a fugly car no matter how good the performance. The C7 looks far far better. So does the lovely C6.
