In other news, now that someone else blabbed about this...

Corvette C8 already in development.

Should we take that as there are no more C7 variants in development?

I'd be shocked to not see anything new come out for Corvette for the entire life of the C7.

Suppliers are already being sourced, so...

I don't know. They already have one model powered by the LT1 and one powered by the LT4. I doubt they are going to develop any other LTx engines.

For the C8? Why so early? We are barely a year into the C7.

I'm guessing because the C7 is only going to have a 5 year or so life.

This site is annoying as hell with their pictures but it shows a few shots of Canyon All-Terrain.

Good looking truck. Looks like the long bed version to me.

[FenwickHockey65]

It does look like a Crew Cab Long Box.

I don't know if this is still the case but All-Terrain on SLE models only is plain stupid. Hopefully that has changed.

If not I'm just going to have buy/trade the wheels off someone.

I think ill stick the Colorado Z71 when it comes out. Just cant get over the chrome and euro taillights on the Canyon.

Could you please explain what defines a European taillight and how it is different from an Asian, Australian, or North American design? Because when I look at Fiat, Skoda, Volvo, BMW, Rolls-Royce, & Porsche ... (to name a few European brands) I don't see a whole lot in common with their taillight design (or any other part of their design). In fact, I see just as much in common among those European brands as I see between those ones and every other car on the planet.

[Silverlsinva]

I would say they are the Clear lenses with chrome surrounds with the red where the bulb would be and the only reason I called them euro taillights is cause if you have ever searched ebay for aftermarket taillights on a Honda CRX the title for the ones as I have described above are usually Euro Taillights in the description and I think most people consider them Euro taillights even if they aren't European in design.

[FenwickHockey65]

Clear taillights aren't really a Euro thing.

[TheCaptain]

They're a non-North American thing.

not sure how "euro tail lights" started, but the correct term is Altezza. Which, ironically, was made popular by lexus. lol



and examples of Altezza's or euro tail lights:
