    I really hope the Corvette doesn't just go mid-engine. I hope the mid-engine car is a special model/spin-off (or Cadillac )

    The spy shot where it looks like a trashbag was entertaining.

    More than a few comments I've seen are also hoping this goes to Cadillac.

    I think it's going to be a Corvette -- and depending upon sales it will probably become the only Corvette.

    I really think Chevy is aiming for a two-car Corvette lineup, a la Cayman and 911. One FR, one MR. Although, who knows, maybe they are dumping the FR Corvette to make room for even more expensive Camaros.

    Related: the Corvette factory is going to shut down for 3 months after they're done making 2017 models in June. It's part of the $290 million investment, in addition to the $439 million paint shop investment that will be done in spring. After the upgrade is completed, they'll go back to making 2018 C7s.

    So they're getting ready for something. Or they're just improving their processes. We shall find out!

    So only 4 years of the C7? That's even less than the C2 (and much lower than the 15 and 13 years of the C3 and C4s).

    The ZR1 could get introduced next year as a 2019, and then the C8 could be a 2020, meaning 6 years of production for the C7. Short for Corvettes, long for other cars nowadays.

    Or the C8 could be produced at the same time as the high cost model, in theory.

    They should call the new mid engine Vette, the "Bowling Green Massacre"
