Retro Or Future?
Retro Or Future?
September 24 2009 01:10:01 AM EST
A key question for auto-builders in the midst of an industry shift, unlike any before, and a need to get people to buy again.

All surrounded by the fundamental question - "What WILL the next cars become?".
Then, add the ultimate of all 'next car' discussions - "What will the next CORVETTE be?".

2 news articles started the latest next-Corvette [the C7] comment-fest - No-Hybrids-Needed and Split-Window Design. 2 camps emerged quickly, but not evenly -

* Continue C7 as an homage to the traditional Corvette fan - Only V8's, classic design, heritage-roar, evolutionary steps forward BUT always in touch with Corvette's past.

OR....

* While staying true to Corvette's value / performance proposition - Move C7 boldly into the future by embracing new technologies, so as to assert Corvette leadership vs the engineering / technology of its world-class competition.

VERY curious what you, the BBV fan, thinks.
