After the successful 2005 launch of the sixth generation or C6 Corvette and the launch of the C6 based Z06, Corvette fans everywhere are speculating on what Chevrolet has up it's sleeve for the Corvette. There are rumors circulating that a super Corvette or Z07 is running around the world as an engineering prototype in preparation for a upcoming launch. While this car will generate the Bulk of the news around the car, Chevy will continue to refine the car and make small but tactile improvements as is always done form year to year, one of the upcoming improvements I'd like to see is the quality of the interior materials improved, I'd also like to see the switch gear such as the turn signal switches and air conditioning and heating controllers refined and improved upon.
Every new generation Corvette seems to hit the mark almost immediately and there's usually very little need for major changes to the car, but there's always room for improvement, and the car also serves as the Halo car for GM,the latest technical think out of the engineering corps shows up in the Corvette first and then trickles down to less expensive models later.
The Corvette seems to be in a position that allows it a sort of special status, this hasn't always been the case for this great icon.
But even the non car enthusiast seems to understand that one can't run the car biz on economics alone, and the Corvette is proof of that.
This is a great example of giving a consistent message, the public understands what the Corvette is about, and because of this the Corvette has continued to be a viable choice in the sports car market for over 50 years.
