Coupe and Spider

Exactly. And may bring more credibility for his other post describing the C8 interior.

In before the Forum Villagers arrive with torches and pitchforks.

So you're going all in Zerv02? You do realize that after this post if what you said is not true, you will lose all credibility forever. You just rolled that dice and if wrong all the snake eyes will be on you!!!!!! ��

Good luck........................

My source never lets me down

I'm with this guy

Gonna be interesting......this thread anyway.

Thanks for adding a "spark" to the new year!

I subscribe to the notion that...

I sure hope that this is true. It'd be really nice to see the C8 decloaked.

Now would that be cool or what? GM diverts the market with a phantom major electric issue and springs the release at the NAIAS. I am still perplexed why an electrical issue would delay the release? You don't need the car 100% functional for a release, point and case the many concept cars over the years. Release the car, take pre-orders, fix the problems and build the car. IMHO, any delays after the NAIAS are to absorb the numerous C7's on the ground. A fun teaser thread none the less.

GM has nothing on the Jan 14 schedule.

The only GM event for the entire show is the Jan 13 reveal for the Cadillac XT-whatever.

So unless they're going to do it after hours and off site, I'm calling shenanigans.

Because when the car is officially announced, it's a real product. People are allowed to have expectations about it. They're allowed to ask, why isn't it out, and GM has to have a reply.

When it's not announced, GM doesn't have to say anything at all. They can always claim it was planned for 2021 and it's not late at all.

They can't really do it as a concept car because nobody would believe that it's "just a concept" thanks to all the leaks and public sightings.

Counter-point. Ford GT. Nobody knew that was coming, and it was a shock when they pulled the cover off. I'm still amazed they managed to keep it secret.

Now the mid-engine Corvette is the worst kept secret in Detroit, but they could still do a surprise announcement. It wouldn't work as well as the Ford because everyone knows it's coming, But they could still do it, and it could still be moderately successful.

I don't think they will though.

That's my boy, double down....
The $169,900 thread has 1,751 responses as I type this, maybe this baby will get close.

Just so I'm clear:
The BIGGEST reveal in the history of a 65 year marque, and GM went all stealth on it.
For the first time, they'll reveal coupe and convertible at the same time.
Got it.

BTW...I am HAPPY to be wrong on this!!!! I guess we'll know soon enough.

I completely agree. Why would GM not hype the reveal.

It makes no sense from a marketing stand point to spring the car on the media and the Corvette faithful.

When GM is ready to intro the car you can bet it will have a similar lead up as Dodge did with the Demon.

I had no interest in the Demon but I still followed all the hints of what was coming because I am a car guy.

Dodge marketing did a great job with the hype.

GM seen that and like most all successful business marketing strategies GM will copy it to some degree.

I think Dodge seen GM roll the C7 out and took the marketing to another level when doing the Demon.

I hope I am wrong as like many I had my heart set in a January 19 reveal. I like nothing more to be totally wrong and we see the car in next 2 weeks.
