Default About when will the 2016 C7's changes will be announced?

I was going to order a 2015 2LT Z51 coupe, but timing wise a little (6-8 months) wait works out a lot better for me as far as having a very small payment, or no payment at all. approximately when will 2016 changes become available to the public? I know there is talk about a "possible" 10% or so jump in H.P. with the mew Camaro coming out in 16, a possible Grand Sport, etc. Or would I be better off getting a bigger discount on a 15 once the 16's start becoming available? About when would I be able to order a 16?

Just like TVs, cell phones, computers, etc., next year will always bring something new and/or better. Sometimes it's only rumors and little changes. If you always wait for it, you'll never buy anything.

My sentiments exactly.

I understand that, and I agree. However I am buying a 2015 OR 16. regardless. Just for me it's makes sense to wait a bit, just want to see the changes as soon as reasonably possible so that if I go that route, I can lessen the wait time. I know how agonizing it was waiting on my 06 Z51 vert. when I ordered it back then. My problem certainly is NOT "If you always wait for it, you'll never buy anything" quite the opposite, ask my wife...... In the mean time, a 2006 vert with 19k miles is not the worst ride to have.

While I hear ya there is nothing that Chevy could add in another year that makes up for not driving a C7 the next twelve months...the car is that good. By waiting you will more than likely kick yourself for not buying it sooner. Just saying...

I did wait for a 2015 as I don't want a first year new model in case there's issues. Then I waited to see the A8 get sorted out. My order is going in at the end of the month.

I had the same question a couple months ago. Here is the thread for your reading pleasure. BTW, My 2015 is scheduled to be built 1/26/2015 so now you know the road I took. Impatiently waiting.
