By all means, build this 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder 4-door SUV.

But please don’t call it a Corvette . . . because it isn’t one.

Announcements like this tell me gas engines aren't going away anytime soon.

EXACTLY If you want an SUV just buy a tried and proven Tahoe.

The whole idea seems nonsensical to me, but I don't think I'll let it bother me much. Anyone who knows cars will know the difference between a real Corvette and an SUV by the same or any other name. I don't foresee it devaluing a real Corvette.

Seems to me it'd be a lot worse if they call it a Corvette Sting Ray (or Stingray).

Live well,

SJW

It's all BS, C&D's effort to make money or get clicks. I heard (can't verify) GM says it ain't happening.

"Yeah, let's water down the name like Mustang did, yeah that's the ticket!"

There are always offshoots of elegant designs that don't work out, like the 4 passenger split window
