Corvette SUV
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. https://www.caranddriver.com/chevrolet/corvette-suv Take care, Steve |

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

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
