If you haven't heard the recent news, GM has announced that they will invest over $100 million in upgrades to the Bowling Green plant to build the C7. There are many stories in the news about this (one linked below), but the two things that stuck out to me were that GM is saying that the new car would likely start production in 2013 to be launched as a 2014 Model Year; and that it would likely look very similar to the Stingray Concept that was first featured in the Transformers movie and has been much touted as the next Corvette.
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I saw a Car & Driver article talking about the "25" models to wait for .... the C7 was there (the article said 2013 - I tend to think 2014 with the BG upgrade)
it also had an optional swc rear window
