Motor Trend had a write up about a possible "Sting Ray" that would be a reskined Soltice with a V6 engine. I don't think that it will see the light of day since they are coming out with a Turbo version of the Soltice that will blow the v6 away.

OK MAKE is not the same as MADE in the present world!
Most of the people now looking for vettes were not alive when the vettes of classic years were made!
