According to Fritz Henderson, the recently-appointed CEO of General Motors, the future holds exciting things for Chevrolet's iconic sportscar. This news comes despite the admission late last year that development of the next-gen C7 Corvette platform was put on "indefinite hold, with no official or set timetable."



In a bit of good news for Corvette fans, Henderson asserts that the "Corvette pays its rent," meaning that it's a money-making operation for The General. Obviously, the longer the automaker can rely on the current C6 architecture, the more profitable it will likely be.

There's still no indication of when we'll see a new architecture underpinning the Corvette, but Henderson is quick to point out that the current C6 chassis is still an excellent unit to build off and one that's fully competitive with the best sportscars from around the world. Disagree? You've obviously never gotten behind the wheel of the latest ZR1.

 

That's great news!

 

Glad to hear, but expected!

 

Very good. The legacy of American muscle lives on!

 

It's safe until PresBO finds out that the Corvette is an American made car.

 

Very good to hear....Glad they decided to keep it around, lets hope they do the same with the Viper

 

The Viper is dead, plant closes next year it looks like....

 

That sucks if true, new ACR is one mean badass.

 

That's very good news, and Fritz should be relieved that he no longer has to worry about waking up to me with a knife at his throat.

 

That is good news I know there would have been tons of pissed off people if they ended the vettes life.
