New Corvette gens have sometimes had pent up demand propping up first and second year production numbers, but those usually came with way-too-long previous gen production runs.

The thing here is that no matter how good the car is, it still has a limited market and GM build as many cars as GM builds.

Porsches can have surprisingly large discounts, though it's less common now than it was during the recession, when you could routinely find year-old cars on the lot that hadn't been sold.
Well, it's not like the auto industry isn't screaming from the rafters about what's coming in a "move along, move along, nothing to see here, folks," kind of way...
