I think Chevy, in general, does a pretty good job with SUVs. The Blazer is a very sharp vehicle. So, if it happens, probably on solid ground.

Sports cads are not SUV's.

Frankly it depends on the car. If just another Porsche or Caddy SUV, no. If aggressive, kind of Bronco like, maybe. To me every car stands on its own......wait and see.

Hope not, but wouldn’t be surprised. I still find it hard accepting the Mustang Mach-E… not so much the SUV crossover itself, but Ford using the monikers:

I’m hopeful it looks closer to the Ferrari Purosangue than a mustang Mach E.
im not enthralled with the mustang Mach E but over the Ferrari Purosangue cuv styling.
when it releases we will all know one way or the other.
then we can decide for ourselves.
i don’t know what his guy is saying yet dam that four door Ferrari sure is beautiful and if the corvette cuv is anything like that I’ll add that vehicle.

agreed...there is nothing Mustang about that SUV except the tail lights. To me that was a slap in Mustang owners faces. I hope they don't do that with Corvette.

NO to ANY SUV.
I see the whole SUV thing as a fad, like station wagons in the 50s or Minivans in 80s. Most people have no need whatsoever for an All Wheel Drive ... anything. But the neighbors all have one. ... I just don't get it. .. .

SUV's and trucks are great. The only difference is that you cannot haul hay in in a SUV.

If Corvette ends up being its own brand, then an SUV is a must.

I just might go for a Corvette SUV, depending on the styling, performance, cost, etc. If it is all electric, probably not.

I want one just because of how upset most corvette owners will get. Ya'lls anger fuels my desire for one.

There is no “New Corvette SUV”. Just bored internet sleuths experimenting with photoshop and computer renderings.
