In a rational world, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray wouldnt exist. The very idea of launching a two-seat sports car named after a World War II ship powered by a truck-sized V-8 goes against every trend line on every chart in every automakers boardroom.

I had a 2005 C6, which actually was a very good car...but sold it after the Obamadork Clown show entered the picture.
Won’t even think about the new one though...it appears that Bangle has transferred from BMW to Gubmit Motors.
“The back end looks too fat”
AKA, Fat ass Vette.
And it’ll probably be half the price of the base Corvette, even loaded for bear.
Big a55, all right. And it *does* look like a Camaro.
What’s with the skinny hip hop tires?
awful
Just can’t picture Buzz and Todd driving the mother road in this.
OK let me try this again:
Does obamamotors still build them in Bowling Green?
Those ultra-low profile tires do two things: they provide enough room for the huge brake discs without being cartoonishly large, and their sidewalls are so small that the tires flex very little under side loads, giving better handling.
Sports cars have legitimate reasons for using ultra-low-profile tires, unlike those ridiculous hip-hop disasters you mention.
Looks like a Nissan Z car. High beltline looks like the Wookie FLOTUS.
That Stingray Concept Car from a few years back was a nice design. Should have gone with that.
Chrysler also is Obummer Motors, including RAM trucks! No thanks.
