Default My Thoughts

Hello again everybody. I apologize for the thread I started, but I will have you know that what I stated is what I believe will happen. The way I made it was to troll... the trolls, such as Zerv02. Also to clear up some other stuff, I admitted it was a joke and asked for the mods to close the thread, which they did. Why it was deleted, I don't know. Also, we dont have much excitement going on right now so that's another reason I started it.

Anyways, here is what I think will happen: the C8 will be the successor to the C7, a front engine car, carrying on the traditional Corvette roots. It will come out as a 2022 model. The mid engine car we see driving around is the Corvette Zora. It is a "tribute" to Zora Duntov, and a whole new model alongside the C7, as well as the C8 when it comes out. The Zora will start off in traditional Corvette fashion as a base model, Zora Stingray. It will be available with a manual, DCT, and as a folding hardtop convertible. It will start at about $73K, while the C8 will start at around $57K. They will share parts, such as engines and transmissions as well as other things. The C8 will be on the 7th gen Camaro platform, and the Cadillac ME will be a flagship car for Cadillac, starting at about $95K. It will be a 2021 model year car, DCT and folding hardtop convertible only and will have the engine from the 2022 Corvette Zora Z06. I think Corvette will be breaking off into it's own brand for better brand identity, going upmarket, etc I also think there will be a Corvette SUV eventually, also using the Corvette model structure such as Stingray, GS, Z06, ZR1, etc.

The reason I believe this will happen is because Corvette will move upmarket, there will be a Vette for everyone, Corvette will have a ton more sales, tons of parts sharing going on, I could go on and on. Also BG has had a huge expansion. So far the only additional thing they are doing besides Corvettes is the 2019 CT6-V engine. If I'm not mistaken, the plant has either doubled or tripled in size with the renovation. If you have any questions in my theory please ask. This thread will be more of a peaceful one, with discussion going on.

Also, to clear up something else: I assure you that I'm not another account run by the same person as the other account such as Zervo02. I dont intend to be a troll and I hope that i can continue threads like this in the future with peaceful discussion going on. Have a nice day

Oh, and another thing I forgot to add: I am a huge Corvette fan. I read many threads on this forum every single day for a couple years now. Once again, I'm not here to be a troll account. I'm a real person, and I don't get my fun by trolling on forums!! Super excited for the C8 as you all are too

Everyone is cranky because there has been nothing really new in quite a while.

Just a thought, though. Probably no need for your thread as there are many existing, and active, threads where those thoughts could have been posted.

But, it’s all good

I understand, but I just want to let everybody know what happened, as well as put my idea back out there without the "troll" part it had at first in hopes more people will see that it actually makes a lot of sense and maybe take it more seriously this time. And yeah, we really need some new content. Or better yet... GM, YOU CAN DROP THAT FIRST TEASER VIDEO ANY DAY NOW lol.

Just for the heck of it- If the front engine car does survive along side a mid engine car, what would they call the next generation of a front engine car? C8F?

Once again, following what I have already said I think is going to happen the ME car is the Zora and is not the C8. What follows the C8 would be the C9 and so forth.
