Default Mid Cycle Changes

Looking at getting my first Vette in a year or two as I will be retiring at the age of 56 next year. Always wanted a Vette since I was a kid and figured why not now as a gift to myself. Wife is on board!! Question, I will likley be looking at 2022 or 2023 MY's. Does Corvette follow like other mfr's and make cosmetic changes such as bumpers, lights, interior console or do they stick with the exact same look until the C9 is released outside of variants such as the Z, e-ray, zora etc. Tks and look forward to one day owning a Vette.

There are cosmetic changes made when new versions are released - the Z06, Grand Sport, ZR1, etc., but each variant remains basically unchanged cosmetically during the generation. There can be very minor changes that most people would never notice.

Not as you have asked about, but far more importantly... they tend to work out the bugs with ongoing years' production. All the best!

OP. They enhance the cars each year little by little. Some gens have had larger MCE than others including transmission engine and even interior and exterior styling changes.

For the last few gens 5 6 7? Not much at all on the exterior of the base cars at all like zero.
