Great news!

Hopefully this will benefit some of the workers laid off in the recent past!

Looks like you haven't been paying attention over the last couple of years. . .

The Corvette has never been dead. The economy, gas prices, medical costs, etc. may have impacted sales & production of Corvettes, but even during these tough times sales & production continued.

Since I've worked for GM for several years I think I might be a bit more informed than you.

I was not disagreeing with your 1st post. I disagree with the 1st post of this thread "the Vettes are coming alive again". Since 1953 production of the Corvette has continued, there has been no break where the Corvette has been dropped from the Chevrolet lineup. So, again I agree with your 1st post. When the economy tanked I'm assuming that sales of the Corvette also took a hit like most other items did.

I was not attacking anything you said in your first post. I was only posting my opinion on the thread. I agree that you are more informed than me being you work for GM, but how was I to know that you work for GM.

LOL I thought it was because my post was just a couple of minutes ahead of your previous post and thought it was pointed in my direction. No hard feelings here.

Thanks

Ya know, I think some of you may have misunderstood my opening sentence. I did not mean Vettes were really dead or out of production or anything along those lines. The phrase simply meant that there seems to be new life in the old girl. Can't believe there was a misinterpretation in the first place.

Well, why didn't you say exactly what you just posted? There was no misinterpretation it was interpreted as it reads. " The Vettes are coming alive again!!" Well, far as I know for something to come alive again it must have been dead at some point. Not sure how that can be misinterprted.

The responses here remind me of a very intelligent Civil War officer. Before he sent out a rider to deliver orders to a distant company he would read the order to the least intelligent soldier under his command and if he understood it he assumed his officers in the distant company would surely understand his order also.

OK, in a nutshell, Vettes were on life support sales wise, but that seems to have changed according to the news item.
