Chevrolet is ending 2020 on a high.
With plant closures caused by United Auto Workers Union strikes and the global pandemic, the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray hasn t had the smoothest of launches. Consequently, some customers who ordered a 2020 model had to wait for the 2021 model to arrive. Thankfully, things are back on track now. Production of the 2020 Corvette was extended to enable GM to hit its original 20,000 unit target.
The 2021 model also started production one month earlier than expected. And according to Corvette Blogger, the first examples are already arriving in showrooms, so some owners can enjoy their 2021 Corvette this year as an early Christmas present from Chevrolet.

The UAW also agrees to resolve a tax investigation by making a payment of $1.5 million to the Internal Revenue Service in connection with administrative fees that the union received from the three joint training centers that were operated with the three car manufacturers.
In addition, the UAW has already paid back over $15 million to the training centers for improper chargebacks that the union received from two of the training centers.
