I don't really want to admit it but I like the C7 Corvette more than any other Corvette since the C2. And if nothing else a mid engined Vette will be interesting.

lotta crabby opinions in here. these companies would'nt be making the cars they are if they weren't selling, the general public doesn't do offroading and could give a damn less about looks they want features and safety followed by mpg. that said do i like any of the new cars now. that said i found one i do like and that's the 2018 regal sportback i just bought thing gets 40 mpg on the highway with the cruise set at 70 is super comfortable and handles pretty dang good. these companies everyone is crapping on here tried performance cars and they all flop as the ppl that want new performance cars cant afford new performance cars.
My last boss is a long time GM hater that recently bought a '16 due to some prompting by his cousin. Previous cars were a supercharged (don't laugh, it was actually kinda cool) Miata, a stout S2000, and a 475-ish HP Cobra replica. He looooves the C7.
I’m OK with a mid engine Vette, the current ones already beat just about every exotic car on the planet and at a much smaller price.
New Vette engine is mid mounted because they have exhausted the front/rear layout capability. Pretty much can't make substantial improvement while still being able to sell it to semi average people. Mid engine is a superior layout dynamically. I think the idea of the Corvette is to be the most dominant American sports car. This is the way forward.
For now. Can't just sit back and watch the competition continue to innovate while you rely on past accomplishments.
Great minds think alike haha. I love my 2018 Regal Sportback, what color did you get?
That’s exactly why the upgrade to mid-engine. Next will probably be the OHC version of the LS. Then (with the way the industry is changing) a turbo diesel and electric. Hell I remember in the 60s they were playing with a turbine engine for the Vette. Then in the early 70s it was a mid-engine Wankle rotory engine. As for new GM products, I like the Impala and the Buick STATION WAGON. I looked on Buicks web site, they actually call it a station wagon. The only thing that bugs me about them is no V-8
