Atten Marlowe Johnson:

There's a ton of speculation, but nothing solid yet. GM has not yet committed to making it. IMO, they would be foolish not to. With everyone at the high end offering an SUV, GM can get in with a world-class, high-value steal just like the C8.  Click here. 

It's  sacrilegious I tell ya. It's like trying to give Buddha a wedgie!!

The Corvette has always been and should remain a two-seat sports car. Make one of these things from the Camaro platform instead.  Sacrilegious I say!!

In the immortal words of Jim Croce, and I quote, " You don't tug on Superman's cape, You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
and you don't mess around with Corvette!"

It's my understanding John, that a Vette-SUV is indeed coming. The only thing NOT yet confirmed are all possible driveline configurations: ICE vs EV vs PHEV, etc..

NOT REALLY BEING A CORVETTE guy (that is, I appreciate the car, understand the significance, etc...   but never had a desire to own one)  I don't think this "proposal" (thanks John ) is all that bad.

Yes, I know.... I would be STONED, then TARRED & FEATHERED in Bowling Green! 😬 😬 😬

In the immortal words of Jim Croce,

Some rapper?   I had to look this dude up in the history books....  He had a hit song over 50 years ago, "Bad, bad Leroy Brown."   Leave it to Tony to dig up some obscure reference.  🤔 😏 🤔

HA!

No, not a rapper. I guess you'd have to call him a folk/rock artist. In my time, prior to his untimely death, he had a number of top hit songs. You mention one of them, There's also 'Time in a Bottle', 'Operator', many more and 'You Don't Mess Around with Jim', that I took the line, above, from.

I enjoy reading your posts every A.M.  and every once in a while I have to comment so if I upset some you sorry. the picture is a Blazer with a Vette front end, I am in favor of change & updating but some things are just stupid.  Like an electric Mustang, I do not understand how a company builds a brand & following & then throws it out the window for what they determine is progress.  How does a Bentley become an off road SUV, same Rolls Royce,  OK they want to expand sales but they are diminishing the brand & insulting all of the customers that bought into it.  I have owned  8 corvettes including a C8  , the world is changing I understand but a Vette will be a Vette  . and a man will be a man . Sorry if I upset your sensitivities.

Welcome aboard Mick! I like your observations and agree with them. I, too, am a (former) multi-Corvette owner. Only three though - Bravo to your 8 sir!!

And although I nearly never get upset or offended - I am offended....that you haven't posted more prior to now. HA!  Glad to have you here!  

Thank you   Mr Perrone - I want you  & the others to know that I do not post very often , But I do read the forums every morning  and find them very interesting.   Thank You Gentlemen .   Ladies ?

'You Don't Mess Around with Jim',

Yes, I know....   I was having a little fun. 😀 😀  I did screw up your reference though. Off the top of my head, I thought those lyrics were from "Leroy Brown,"   I know better, of course it's from "You don't mess around with Jim."   Oops! 🙄 🙄 

Jim was truly a great artist. Sadly, he became wildly popular after his passing; I think he'd be astonished to know that so many appreciate & remember him in 2024.

You're not upsetting any of us, but as we've noted several times. You & your demographics are no longer a consideration. OEMs do not care if you're alienated. The fact that you despise EV-SUV Mustangs, Rolls Royce SUVs, Porsche 4-doors, etc. is irrelevant. Younger "demos"  want software, the lasted tech., cup-holders, and four doors.

Four doors are for old folks! I buy only American 2-door convertibles and/or coupes.  Good luck, right?  I am a dinosaur! NO ONE cares about me anymore!

What you view as "brand diminishment,"  is actually "brand survival."

Well, you old kidder you!!   

Jim left us at only 30 years of age in a plane crash. I believe his son now is a singer. I'll have to check it out.

You're very welcome!

I've been a Corvette fan since 1956 and a Corvette owner since 2005. I don't see the relevance of a Corvette SUV. Yes, I know things change but not always for the better. Yes, I know I'm a dinosaur, and I like what I like. 

Hi, Mick! Thanks for raising your hand. We would love to hear from you more often.
