C9 Corvette reportedly scheduled for 2028 launch as a 2029 model.

I think GM Authorities sources is the same forecast that other websites have cited about this information.

At least the other websites have the integrity to properly cite the forecast company work. And not pass it off as if they have inside sources.

Actually this is encouraging. I may disagree with many, but I see the current C8 as being a bit unresolved, in both its design and presentation of variants. I feel that the price is also a bit out of hand as well. The c9 could be an opportunity for Chevrolet to organize and consolidate the current vette attributes. The company should also re-examine the manual transmission use, which I feel is sorely missing from the c8.

Real talk the state of GM's dealership network and salespeople is pathetic. I literally had to walk her through the build.

When I did my Colorado build back in November, before some dealers even knew the books opened, I went to 4 different dealerships before finding one whose inventory manager was actually in the office, and they all asked me if I worked for a different dealer due to the level of knowledge I had on the process and available options. The forums are a treasure trove.

Honestly I plan on calling them on Friday to make sure they actually ordered the damn thing. I wasn't super confident in their abilities.

Not exactly news per se but I absolutely love Motor trend destroying the TRD Pro vs. ZR2.

Toyota made a massive mistake coming out out with that after 15 years.

Isn’t there still quite a price difference, especially given ZR2 is almost fully loaded?

23 TRX is 84k base not including markups. You could slap a supercharger on the Chevy and come pretty close with the price difference.

Raptor R is over 100k iirc.
