The other thing that could happen to the Corvette if it remains a Chevy model is that GM may not allocate resources to introduce the next generation of this iconic model. I sure hope this won't happen, but it wouldn't be surprising if that's what happens.

I agree with what both of you said. The '09 Corvette is a really nice car, and a performance bargain.

Replying to: hpmctorque (Feb 21, 2009 6:15 am) My only gripe about Corvettes is they do not seem to hold up cosmetically. After 4-5 years, you can see the wear and tear unless you are a very careful type. |

Replying to: oregonboy (Feb 20, 2009 7:35 pm) You're right. After all the C3 vette stayed unchanged for 15 years, and the C4 for 14 years. So if this one debuted in 2005, and money is tight, we might not see any change until 2020. By then there will be either no Corvette, or some oddball hybrid version.  By the way Oregonboy, my wife and I drove down the Oregon coast a few weeks ago and you guys have some of th most beautiful scenic highways.

Replying to: oregonboy (Feb 20, 2009 7:35 pm) Another thing about the Vette is that it probably would do very poorly in a head-on. |

| Yes but if a car has charisma and great performance, collectors forgive all kinds of faults. Look at vintage Ferraris for instance. If your new car had the reliability and build quality of a '65 Ferrari, you'd burn it. | |
