5 Things Corvette Fans Can Be Thankful for in 2020

On this Thanksgiving, we thank our lucky stars to have the Corvette in our lives during a year we can’t wait to see go away fast enough.

Is this year over yet? Can it be?! What should have been a glorious year for the Corvette (and all of us) has turned into one of the most painful years in memory. The sooner 2020 leaves, the better (though the start of 2021 doesn’t look so good thus far, either).

Yet, even in the darkest times, there are a few things to be thankful for. On this Thanksgiving, we have five things to be thankful for about the Corvette we’d like to share with you.

That the Corvette is Here at All

The first production-ready mid-engine Corvette was due to hit the line back in December 2019. A labor strike delayed assembly until February 2020. All was moving along until, of course, the pandemic shoved a monkey wrench into the works a month later. It took a while to get things back up to knock out the backlog of 2020 orders before the start of 2021 production next month, according to Road & Track; cross your fingers it works out that way.

And yet, the C8 era is here, a six-decade-long dream finally realized, at a price point everyone can celebrate. We all needed this in the Year of Our Corona 2020.
