The C9 Chevy Corvette rumors are beginning in earnest. We haven't even seen all of the trims of the C8 yet, but a next-generation 'Vette is already coming into focus. As GM Authority reports, the news is good. The new Corvette reportedly will not be electric, it will sit on a revised version of the C8 platform, and it's allegedly architecturally unrelated to the rumored Corvette sedan and SUV. There is some news there, too.

I am sure news and coverage of the C9 Corvette will be very active.   You seem to be suggesting that people who run automotive websites may wish to harden their firewalls in preparation.

Hopefully it can run on Home Depot's website. That thing is hot garbage and deserves to be burnt.

I read it as "internal" and then the responses really confused me for a minute.

Talk of the C9 seemed really premature, but then the C7 lasted what five years? And we're already on the third model year of the c8. Wow time flies. I think the C8 will have a little more sticking power than the C7 though.

2028 would give the c8 7 to 8 years which is on par with both the c5 and c6.

Yes sorry couldn't resist.  I am interested to see what the C9 is like.  Obviously it will be based on an evolution of the C8 chassis.  I wouldn't expect a wholesale change until the C10.   Please start the rumors that the C9 will have a MT....

Actually, I think the title is a very good pun.  I'd have taken credit for it, myself.
