WANT TO KILL THE CORVETTE BRAND? This is the perfect way. Plus emphasize the video screens in the back of the headrests and the 47 cup holders. Yeah that says Corvette.

Tomorrow is April fools day. As long as they keep a front engine Corvette in the fold I could care less what else they do.

Looks like a Porsche Macan with The cross flags on the front.

When's an April Fool's Joke just a Fool's Joke? When you do it on March 31st.

That said, I would love for them to do a Corvette SUV. It would insure (IMO) that Corvette would become a stand alone brand.

Dear Corvetteforum editor - thank you for reminding me to stay off the internet tomorrow so as to avoid this kind of constant, lame, unfunny, pathetic attempt at humor by the humorless on a day that no one enjoys but dicks.

Seriously, have some dignity and wipe this from the forum.

This thread might have been posted as an April Fools Joke, but I wonder if the folks at GM who make the model decisions are reading the responses.
My response to a Corvette, high performance SUV like the one in the pic is, "Will you take a Lexus RX350 as a trade-in?"

Ok so April fool's day is approaching...... but I might be gulible enough to believe the test car that was heavily camouflaged with faux tail lights and a unique LED headlight under it's wrapper miles from Milford Proving Grounds this morning has me really thinking!?

We'll see

All of you guys are silly. I guess a Corvette SUV will kill the Corvette brand just like Panamera and the Cayenne did for Porsche .

You must be making an April 1 joke. I'm sure you're well aware that Porsche sales have increased every year for seven years and 2016 set a new sales record with the Macan the number 2 selling model out of five.
While it's true the Panamera is a dog with the lowest sales of all models and declining, no one here is promoting a four door sedan/coupe Corvette. In fact almost everyone is opposed to it.
However, a high performance SUV would be a good addition to Corvette.

This is one lame attempt at an April Fool's joke. It is not funny. It also got itself all tangled up in contradictory detail. A SUV replacement for the Chevy SS? Really?

The heartbeat of America! Corvette hasnt disappointed in awhile, and to stay true to the finish line flag on their emblem... They will take it first! Thats why you love your Vette and the heritage, in order to keep your respect, changes are being made to keep you from saying corvette fell of the map! A gm wagon, smoked a Ferrari! Zl1, will eat that wagon today.... You expect Lamborghini to stand a chance? Expect them to not knock these guys of there horses? If so, sell your car, Corvette wouldn't an owner who settled for less! This is a performance fueled horsepower war like the 60's, but wayyyyy more power! Enjoy it......
