Former Bowling Green Assembly Plant Manager Jeff Lamarche will take over the lead at the General Motors Spring Hill Manufacturing site in Tennessee early next year.
Lamarche was plant manager in the early days of the C7, from 2014-15, and retains a warm spot in his heart for the car as he still attends Corvette events, including last year’s Bash.

Want a drive a new C8 Corvette like you stole it? You can if you have the video game Grand Theft Auto 5.
We’ve been seeing more and more videos of the new 2020 Stingray on youtube as virtually modded for the game. I’m a little behind the times and don’t have that title, but I might just have to look into it after watching a YouTuber share 11 minutes of gameplay with the car.
And CorvetteBlogger’s award for the best Corvette of the ’80s goes to… the 1984 model! The first-year C4 is no stranger to winning prestigious awards as it was the first ‘Vette to ever take home the coveted golden calipers as MotorTrend’s Car of the Year.

This week has been full of unsurprising news; Frozen II continues to dominate at the box office, putting Disney over $10 Billion in ticket sales for 2019 (a new record for any studio in a calendar year), the New England Patriots got caught cheating, yet again, and today, Edmunds named the all-new C8 Corvette the best Sports Car of 2020.

A Phoenix man says his 2017 Arctic White Corvette coupe stinks.
Literally!
Troy Tangeman was driving home after a late night of working on Friday when he noticed what he thought was dirt on the road at Seventh and Southern avenues in Phoenix.
Only it wasn’t dirt.
We’ve heard for months now that the C8 Corvette is going to be hard to find for 2020.
Now, GM North America President Barry Engle has confirmed to MotorTrend that all 40,000 of the C8s that Chevrolet plans to build for 2020 are already accounted for. That probably means that dealer allocations have been filled for the slots for both the coupe and convertible versions.
Many of our most recent entrants on this countdown have been significant because they were the last Corvette with something special. With our second place ‘Vette of the ’80s though, America’s Sports Car continued its crawl out of the malaise era and was now gaining back options, performance, quality, and the respect that it deserved. Ladies and Gentlemen, we submit the 1986 Corvette as our silver medal winner from the 1980s.
Take a look at this photo of a 1966 Milano Maroon Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray coupe. Notice the Rapid Blue 2020 Corvette Stingray coupe in the background in the garage.
That should give you a clue that these are not two ordinary Corvettes since the C8 isn’t even available yet to ordinary drivers.

Chevrolet offers a special publication called New Roads for those who, well, buy new Chevy vehicles. This December, a special 48-page commemorative edition all about the 2020 Corvette Stingray was sent to a select list of Corvette owners and other drivers of the bow-tie brand.
