Wish List: Mid-Engine F-Type....
When word came out that the next Corvette C8 will be the mid-engine variety, I was drooling.....
To me, it's the sexiest 'Vette I've ever seen!
I'm hoping (and praying) that the next gen F-Type will also go mid-engine. Not only will handling improve, but overall drivability as well. (I'm also wishing the next gen. model will also use more carbon fiber to save weight). The last mid-engine Jag sports car was the XJ220:
If the higher-ups can do a modern version with F-Type design cues, it'll be awesome!
If the F-Type looks don't improve (which I know is hard to do), that C8 may very well be my next dream car!

LOL, the mid-engine Corvette rumor has been circulated complete w/ concept designs in every generation starting w/ absolute certainty the C5 would be mid-engined, then it was a certainty for the C6, and a definite certainty for the C7. It always starts about 2-3 years after introduction of a new gen, but it's way too early for those decisions to be made.
My prediction: it's not going to happen.

Every generation of the Corvette since the C1 in 1953 has run 7-9 years. The C6 ran from 2005-2013. The C7 debuted in 2014, and the earliest we'd expect to see the new gen would be 2021-2022. Anything appearing at the 2018 NAIAS will undoubtedly be just a concept.
