If it follows suit with all of the previous years, it'll come out in 2012. . . . . . also as a matter of choice, I prefer not buying the 1st year out of any model. Hopefully, they'll get the bugs out in the following years (you know, like creaking roofs, orange peel, etc., etc. ).

If it looks anything like renderings why would you wait for that, I would get what is here now before they are gone....

Yeah, good luck with trying to get a good deal on the first C7's to come off the line. Can you say Dealer Mark up.

Of couse my assumtion is made based on a full economic recovery by 2012. If that holds true, the days of us taking advantage of the dealerships misfortunes will be coming to an end.

There will always be something new or better being added in the future. I would rather enjoy years of driving rather than years of waiting.

so, why?

and i'd say you were waiting for the C7, no the 2013. no one said it is coming out as a 2013, that is just speculation.

When you want a Corvette waiting is NOT an option you must be a poser.

Waiting for a C7 that may never come is not a real smart choice. Getting a deal on a new remaining, 2009, Z51, MN6, NPP, coupe would be a real smart choice, there are 9 left. http://jeffhardy.com/lookupvette09.php
