stupid GM is planning to make a Corvette SUV by 2007!
it is basically a hummer h2 with the doors being reengineread to open suciede ways, the back end sloping back like an Aztek, with corvette taillights and a 65 front end with a little squarer styling and a trans am ram air hood with 65 wheels.
I heard of it in my version of Autmobile magazine. I have found no pics on the internet but they said at automobile that they created computer generated photos from what they saw from them (GM) testing it in heavy camoflogue in Arizona.
here's the article:
If the latest computer enhanced images are correct, changes for the recently redesigned crovette include all wheel drive, brush guards, and seating for nine. Ace soy shoter Hans Meisterkafftsmann captured the heavly disguised mule near a soccar field in Arizona, and worked with analyst Paul Potemkin to generate the photos shown.
" The corvette abvisouly needs additional cargo capacity, and it's ability to seat nine increases it's market penetration" the photographer noted.
Chrvrolet division head W.W. Brent Dewar refused to confirm and planned changes to the corvette, offering only that "You people are fruitcakes"
Potemkin stands by his colleague's enhancements of the images. "This is the inevitable evolution of GM's curent driection. The next corvette will conbine the off road capabilities essential to 50 year old suburbanties with key model identifiers like crossed flag embroidery and automatic transmission. Most Corvette owners' families, budgets, and waistlines have expanded beyone 2 seaters anyway- I mean, just try getting into the current car after all-you-can-eat fish night at Stuckey's, Tilt/tele my ass.
The LS2-powered car could debut as a 2007 model. Meisterkraffsmann and Potemkin predict that Cehvy will base, Sport and Rochester Big and Tall editions.
