We all suspicioned that the first of the ordering constraints on the 2019 C7, and therefore in my personal opinion the entire C7 generation, would be starting sometime next year, but here is official GM proof from the www.GMfleetorderguide.com web site, that already the very first 2019 option can no longer be ordered.
I wondered last week, posted this very question in our “Weekly Constraint Updates” thread, that it was suspicious to me that the option code “RQ2” chrome torque directional wheels, for the first time were 100% constrained two weeks in a row, and asked then, “whether this could be the first permanent 2019 constraint?”
Thankfully this particular option was ordered in pretty small amounts — thought it was available for the Stingray, Z-51 and Grand Sport models.
Bottom line is that the first of the 2019 ordering options is already extinct, so IMO anyone still wanting to order a 2019 C7 with exactly the options there were wanting (minus that one), best of luck, and please do not wait much longer to place your 2019 C7 order.
I consequently believe that now the first 2019 C7 option is now gone, but that we will increasingly see additional 2019 options be phased until, sometime during the 2018/2019 winter, we should not be surprised that the last consensus, the last time to order, a 2019 C7 is publicly announced.
Could that time also be the very last time to order any C7. I personally think so. Of course, I can not stress enough that we have heard nothing official from GM that even there will be a mid engine Corvette ever coming, let alone that the 2019 Corvette will be the last time one could order a C7.
However, when something looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, ???
Next, we will see the second 2019 option go away, perhaps again a limited order, secondary one. But for those who wait to place their order, please be aware that those who “wake up late,” could find that the exact seat color they were wanting has also just been declared extinct sometime over the next several months Or could it be, that no more 7M’s, or even no more convertibles, or even no more, eventually we will learn that no more of a major model (such as a Z06), could have its 2019 order placed.
If you are ordering a 2019 C7, please do not wait, instead contact your dealer fairly soon, for the next ordering consensus is exactly one week away, for while sometimes GM announces “upcoming last opportunities” to order a specific option, GM is never required to give such advance notice — just as it did not in the case of the R2Q wheels.
What will be the next 2019 C7 option to become extinct? And when might that be? And what could be the consequences of waiting one extra week to place your 2019 C7 order? Eventually that extra week could mean disaster for your chosen option, or much worse than that.
