Corvette
C7 put on indefinite HOLD
According
to multiple unnamed sources speaking with Autoweek,
General Motors has put its plans for a C7 Corvette on "indefinite
hold, with no official or set timetable." That's a pretty broad
admission, but not entirely surprising considering the financial issues
plaguing GM, the rest of the domestics and the world as a whole.
Originally it was thought that the current C6 Corvette would undergo
significant upgrades over the course of the next five years, with the C7
coming to market in 2014. That timeframe doesn't appear to hold water
anymore, and Autoweek maintains
that GM's leadership doesn't have a clear plan for what the future holds
for the 'Vette, not to mention the rest of the General's lineup.
However, Corvette vehicle-line executive Tom Wallace assured the weekly
pub that the halo coupe isn't going anywhere. "We're still working
on future Corvettes," Wallace said, and "there are changes,
some neat stuff, coming for 2010 that I can't talk about yet."
Wallace went on to say that the 2010 model wouldn't be considered an
all-new car and that the 35-mpg CAFE standards for 2020 are having an
effect on future drivetrains specs of the next Corvette.
