C7 Corvette to begin with 2012 Model Year
In the process of hammering out the new GM - UAW agreement, finalized last week, GM revealed production expectations for its many assembly plants, including Corvette's Bowling Green. I first noticed this in Scott Burgess' column Saturday in the Detroit News.
Contrary to previous leaks that the first year of the C7 Corvette would be 2011, documents released during negotiations show it as a 2012. As a result, we are altering our CorvetteBlog Topic Category to reflect this understanding.
As a reminder, the next blow-them-away, over-the-top Corvette revelation should occur at the North American International Auto Show, AKA Detroit Auto Show, when the wraps come off the 2009 Corvette ZR1!

You guys screwed up on the 2012! It looks too much like a DB9! Stay with the C6; you did a good job with that!
Don't worry too much about it yet. Again, this is mostly speculation. Over the years (five decades personally), I've seen things change alot between Motor Trend's prognostications and reality.
