[QUOTE="Nik, post: 116422, member: 1"] The next generation of 'Vettes may be arriving sooner than we thought.

The news came tucked away deep in a longer story regarding the Bowling Green factory's imminent November 6th reopening, after [URL='http://www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/13006/chevy-puts-a-halt-on-2018-corvette-orders-until-december-over-plant-upgrades?iid=sr-link2']a multi-month reset designed to retool the plant to build new models[/URL]. The facility will go back to cranking out 2018 Corvettes for two and a half months until concluding that run on January 22nd, according to the paper, at which point the GM plant will begin the process of switching over to the new model.
