yeah cause it's said they are "Re-tooling" and re-tooling usually either means a totally new model or.......newer robotics in helping assemble.
I'm thinking it's for the new Mid Engine Model. I have been reading that the so called "Mid Engine" Corvette is a go and likely to be priced in the mid $150k range. I just hope Chevrolet doesn't go down the same path with the Vette as Dodge did with the Viper. I'd hate to be saying Good Bye to the Vette because it's so damn over priced and because of slumping sales GM decides to retire it. Just my 2 cents.
