It is amazing how stupid and uninformed some sales people are regarding their own products.

I have never found a car salesman who knew more than me about the car or truck I was looking at. I basically tell them to shut up, give me the keys and when I am ready to buy something we can start negotiating the price and other terms.

It is actually quite shocking to me. I think I could outsell 90% of the sales persons at the dealers. If I was the sales manager I would quiz every sales person regarding the product and its competing products.

I remember when the srt-4 neon first came out, i wanted to test drive it. I went to the Dodge dealer and asked the salesman if they had any to test drive. He gave me a blank stare. He asked what exactly i was looking for. I said the turbo'd neon. has a spoiler, hood scoop, etc. He said with a pause, "no, we don't have any of those." So as i decide to walk around a bit, BAM staring me right in the face was an orange srt-4. lol I went back to the same salesman and told him to come with me. I pointed out the srt-4, then told him to go fetch me another salesman so i can test drive the car. lol

I think that all the dealer said is that there will be a "new ZO6 & ZO7 package but didn't say what it was on. So there mighb be some new corvette packages.

The turn over rate on car salesmen is very high. Due to this fact, there are very few of them that take the time to research every model that the dealership has on stock or could be produced.

Now there are some that know what they're talking about, but in this day and age they are far and few.

If you want to know what's happening to a product line, its best to either visit their website or a fan site like this.
