Is the C8 even being sold outside of Trumpland?

If they wanted to sell a lot they would force their dealers to sell at MSRP.

Oh well. Neither are coming to Australia.

The supra will do  well here just like the 86/BRZ did

I’d watch an anime version of Das Boot so hard

Pretty much, but  with fewer settings!

BMW, but yeah.

Making it RWD.

Also, all of the U.S. cannot be considered Trumpland - far less than half, actually.

While he holds the keys it’s trumpland :) same as Brexitland will soon be Borisland.

I’d love to see the corvette exported to Australia. I have friends with C2’s and C3’s and they’re legitimately cool and unique here for not a huge price.

Definitely not the every mans super car though.

Can’t technically do that, but they can find ways to punish them in the future  for markups.

I really want this now.

Oh shit hadn’t read that. If it gets the Holden badge it’ll just get rebadged like all the dudes who put the bow tie on Commodores

They should make them Canada-only, where they can be required to charge MSRP only, free Canadian delivery, but include a letter saying they are legal for the US

The C8 will probably retain low cost of upkeep, unlike the BMW Supra

There’s a guy near me who swapped the Chevy badges on his SS with Holden badges. People are weird.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > DipodomysDeserti 08/03/2019 at 18:04

I think they should wear the badge of who makes ‘em.

SS - Holden

86 - Subaru

C8 - Corvette

Supra - BMW

Ugh... how long til the world gets off this crazy train?

Same. However, I really liked how the bowtie made the SS look so mundane. The ultimate sleeper.

For sure.

The Holden logo is great, though.

RHD! Not RWD...

That I kinda get cause they’re at least made in Holden factory.

Saw Opel badges on one once too but I think he was winding us up

I have Yamaha badges on my Toyota

If dealers were half way intelligent, they’ d se ll well at msrp to 5k over. Moving more units for less $ actually ends up pu tting 40% more $ into dlr pockets because the cars won’t sit a round for 45 to 80 days, whic h costs dealers a lot of $.

I’m gonna slap some Harley badges on my Honda ;)

Hopefully it’s just these launch edition cars that go for stupid money (when each dealer only has one), and prices quickly get in line as they start becoming readily available.

You’re not fooling anyone.

No one will think you’re driving a piano!

What if I told you the badge is there from factory?

All badges come from factories, silly!

On a serious note, I’d be surprised.

Stock photo for reference (I’ve been a bit cheeky, the badge is in the engine bay)
