2017 Corvette Changes?
Is there any info yet on possible changes for the 2017? I'm getting closer to being ready to buy my first Vette, but heard some rumors that there will be significant changes coming to the 2017. I know there will always be tweaks, but "significant" caught my attention. Thanks.

Based on how well the C7's have been selling thus far, and the minimal amount of changes we've see in the 15 and 16 model years, I personally don't foresee major changes coming for the '17's. I did read that GM is dropping the Shark Gray Metallic and Laguna Blue Tintcoat colors in '17. In any case you won't have to wait long to find out. Details on the '17's should be coming out during this years Corvette Bash at the end of April.

To your point, there have been minor changes, so that's why I thought maybe for 2017 there will be some bigger changes.
Looking forward to the end of April. Last edited by ArmoSS; 02-08-2016 at 07:17 PM. |

I was just talking to a dealer yesterday, and the word is we will hear in Q2 2016 what the new colors are that replace DSOM, NRB, Shark Gray, & Laguna Blue...
Rumors are some sort of Metallic/Pearl White, a blue variant of some sort...nothing else at this time. There was also a theory that they MIGHT bring back Carbon Flash Metallic as a black option. Again, nothing substantive yet. |

Actually my point was, as long as C7 sales numbers are maintaining, there's not much need to spend money to make major changes to the C7. But if sales numbers drop off, that's a different story.

I know it may seem "trivial" but I am super happy about the red seat belts. Saw those on the new Camaro ZL1 and thought they looked great. Nice Touch!
