That might be what Mary wants. But maybe they should design technology in house

It's just buzzwords. GM is GMing. Corvette is one of the things they do right so hopefully the brand spin off stays true to the original recipe.

GM a few years back stated that they are a technology company not a car company anymore.

gm missed the opportunity with not making a suv to go up against the Porsche, Audi, BMW, benz, in the sports car suv segment, not to say ford has anything but at least they have tried with ST line, and dodge with SRT.

Just like gm always behind on current trends. But the corvette suv will make up for it…. Right lol

Hey gm made the blazer RS

Does this platform allow for a front-engine configuration? I can't see a mid-engine working well for an SUV. Kind of kills the interior space lol
