Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Now I'm thinking it will actually be a used C7 in 2015.

Since the ZR1 is a 2009 model you can figure not much is going to change on the regular coupe and vert. GM is going to want to keep all the focus on the new model.

I would guess that the 2009 C6 will not have as good deals on if you bought a 2008 C6 a few months earlier. I would just go with the 2008 and get it ordered now so it should be ready by spring.

It is hard to say what the future will be. Back in the 80s they use to say that we will never see 300-400hp in a car again. Now they get that much or more and with gas mileage twice as good as the big engine cars back then.

I'd wait since the '09 is now just around the corner. Maybe Bluetooth and other minor goodies.

You might want to wait for the C9.
