I've seen 3 new Mustangs on the road and NO C6's Figures...the car I really want to see, nobody has one around here. The car I really couldn't care less about is going to be all over the place

It doesn't surprise me though, who's going to buy a Corvette as soon as winter in Indiana hits?

.....and the 2 biggest chevy dealers in town have a $5K markup from MSRP . It was so fun to shoot down the salesman when he tried to justify it I have seen 3-5 C6's around here and about as many mustangs . The stangs are still onesy twosy on the lots though .....no real quantity to sell .

I have yet to see a C6, in the dealer or otherwise. I saw a 2005 Mustang GT and a V6 today while driving to work. First ones I've seen on the road. Surprising since I see a TON of C5s around here. It has been pretty ****ty weather here in SoCal lately, maybe no one is driving their C6s around.

I haven't seen either, and I haven't seen a mustang or a C6 vette in the dealerships either, there is though alot of C5 vettes sitting around.

I guess the lack of new vette and mustang is because of me being in Canada?? eh?

C6 is selling quite well. The convertibles are now ramping and most are sold order from what I understand.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if a dealer the size of Kerbeck has 20 on the ground and 30 inbound. They move more 'vettes than any dealer. The difference, or maybe better stated is the reality, is not how many you see...it's how long have they been sitting.

I have seen no Mustangs.

Although I have seen two semi trucks full of C6's in the past month cruising down I-65. And I saw the semi truck unloading C6's at the dealership in Murfresboro. Still haven't seen one on the road yet.

Heck I live here in Bowling Green, KY where they are built and the Chevy dealer here has yet to get one on the lot. But I do see several on the road from people that work at Corvette..

Re: 2005 Corvette sales... how's it doing, really?

ive seen around 15 new mustangs and 0 c6 vettes. thats pretty strange considering my house is in a very affluent neighborhood(even though im dirt poor) and i am usually home on weekends when people take out their play cars. there are 4 c5's on my street alone but no c6's yet. i think there might be two new mustangs, i know for sure there is one. i want to see a c6 in person damn it. im tired of waiting and i dont like the looks of the new mustang much at all.
