Cost Effective!?
I just heard on MotorWeek that even though the Corvette's trucking cousin Silverado isn't the best selling in its class it is less expensive to make and is winning as far as profit margins go, and the bottom line.
Hmmm!

It's been that way for over a decade now.
together they move 224,000 units per year.
Of course it's also cheaper to make since it has a pushrod V8...and it's not packing a 2 turbo V6 either as one of it's options...
I also do not understand what this has to do with the Corvette?

Engine! Manufacturer!
When you combine Sierra and Silverado, they outsell the F150.

I'm watching the NASCAR race right now and a Camaro is the pace car and that has me wondering, 
does the Malibu have Bluetooth for backseat passengers who are drinking Big Gulps on a Tuesday? 
LOL
