hmmm, do you think obama has a "new design" for the vette? do you think that he knows a vette gets 30 + mpg on the road and almost that much in town(when we keep our foot out of it)?
i hope the ceo at gm will very quickly allow corvette to divorce itself from gm. if not, the government regulators will cause it to disappear, the usa's only sports car. anyway, god help the auto industry. i hope ford NEVER accepts any money from the government, it will die too.

Not sure the Vette would go, but the HP ratings would probably hit the tank if the government has its way.
