Maybe I should buy one, as I had a first year 1967 SS/RS 350

The latest word is that Gen 7 is postponed not discontinued.

GM's plan is to go all trucks and SUV's. They are discontinuing all car production. That's where the money is now. When gas prices raise and no one buys them, GM will need another bail-out. Stupid move, but I'm not getting paid millions of dollars a year like GM execs.

I find it odd that they are coming out with a mid engine Corvette with lower sales volume then the Camaro. They site low sales numbers for the Camaro compared to the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger.

Ford is doing the same thing.

Camaro was always a 25 and under thing, so no real loss to see it go. Sad to see them ruin Corvette over time though, they really screwed the pooch on that one.

Didn't know the Camaro was a TV.

Slap a hitch on this RWD platform with it's powerful V8 and I'm sure you could tow.

I've mostly had GM since '67, with a few Fords. But given both their stated direction for the future, I'm ...reluctantly...looking at vehicles now from Honda, Lexus and Nissan for our next vehicle. I was an intensely brand loyal customer, but I don't see anything that Ford/GM markets to meet my needs.

I saw the new Blazer in a GM showroom (getting my oil changed) and I couldn't tell the difference between that and Equinox...in looks. The differential is in the price . I can't see why anyone would spend more money to buy something that looks so similar, but I guess GM has a plan.

IMHO they are the least appealing re-do of the Muscle cars. The rear is simply UGLY. Same person must have designed the rear of the Corvette as it simply does not fit the rest of the car.

How much are you paid, Tyler? lol
