Vacation time! Here's some posts to keep you busy in the meantime.

Corvette C7 coming in 2012?

Corvette lovers had a slight scare in the state of the current economy with the bankrupcy of GM and word that performance models would be placed on the backburner, like the Z28. In a world of ever increasing gas prices, would the legendary Corvette meet it's demise after a long run as America's sports car?

Well it looks like the 'vette will continue on, at least if the latest two year product plans coming from GM hold out to be true. The plan is to introduce the C7 Corvette in 2012 as a 2013 model. Previous plans were to hold off on a new Corvette until 2014. Having a mid engine layout is a dead idea, as the C7 will continue on with the classic front engine, rear drive layout.

Rumors are that C7 will be smaller and lighter than the C6, which could be accomplished with the use of more exotic materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum in the construction. Rumor also has it that styling could be influenced by the 2009 Chicago Auto Show's Stingray Concept, the car you see in the pictures above. Well, we hope that rumor isn't true.
