They've kept the trademark on "Zora" for a while. Rumor mill says that's the name of the new one.

I'm down with the cause. It doesn't feel like a change "just because" to me. It's been thought about and toyed with for decades by very talented and knowledgeable people to the point it seemed like a certain eventuality.
Because of that it's easy for me to look forward to it's final reveal hoping the execution is on point.

I think the Corvette changes have been planned a long time and will come about now to separate it from the newer Camaros. They are close to matching the Corvette now - and did sizzle the Nurburgring!

2 to actually cover the car. And 3 more to discuss how the car is being covered incorrectly.

Jokes aside, those covers SUCK to put on. They are held on by an industrial crap ton of velcro (and sometimes rivets). They are made to stay on, not come back off. Also, there is foam all over under the vinyl in random places that bulks up the sides and makes the car bigger than it should be.

Might be a Cadillac?
Something in my gut tells me that while everyone assumes this is going to be the new C8 Corvette, perhaps it might turn out to be a halo car for Cadillac?
Let me explain... Johan de Nysschen is the guy responsible for the Audi R8. If you recall the launch of the R8, it really brought Audi into the spotlight and they had the right lineup of cars to funnel these never-before-seen young customers towards the cool new halo Audi, which got them through the doors of the showrooms. They might not have left with an R8, but quite a few drove off in an A4, S5, etc. Nysschen joined Cadillac in 2014. Right now the Cadillac V cars are some of the best performing cars in their segment and gunning for their german rivals, but we know young people aren't snatching these vehicles up. Cadillac is simply not cool to kids -- maybe this upcoming halo car will alter that perception. Rumor has it that this new mid-engined "C8" will be sold along side the traditionally front-engined C7... which leads me to believe that they will brand it something other than a Corvette. It's also possible that we're looking at some future "twins"... |
