Default GM says no C7 until after 2017

GM has cancelled the mid-engined C7 that was do out in 2014-15 - this is do to economics - DUH!

The car would have had a dual clutch gearbox what was being developed by Saab fitted to a supercharged V6 or V8

They - at GM are also saying that the C6 may be the last Corvette - BS - it pays for itself.

Judging from the rolling smilies, I'd guess he was joking/stirring.

I gues this rules out the c7 being a quad turbo inline 3.

Best way to describe the new GM is dumb and dumber. What do you expect from a company run by unions and Obama.
