Review: 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is the complete package - The Globe and Mail
Where, exactly, do you start with the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. there so much going on with this drop-tropped, rear-wheel drive V-8 powered car, which started out more than 50 years ago as the classic American sports car. Of course, even when the original ‘Vette started appearing in showrooms in 1953, it was classic Americana, yes, but a technological marvel too, thanks to its all-fiberglass construction. The new car is also made much from fiberglass, but there is a lot more going on now, to the point that the 2015 Stingray, as classic as it seems, could be looked at as a microcosm of the technically-advanced stage so many of the world’s cars have... There is no question that now, already a year after its initial release, the seventh-generation Corvette continues to turn heads wherever it goes. I recall an especially enlightening moment where I, driving a Porsche Boxster GTS finished in Carmine Red, was completely ignored by a gaggle of teen-aged boys as my colleague drove ahead of me in the Corvette you see here. I mean, just look at the ‘Vette: those cooling ducts (functional, of course) on the rear haunches, that ground-sniffing stance and those LED DRLs—this is an extremely well thought-out design, even if you do see some Ferrari 599 in there, a car... Whether you like that or not, you have to admit that Chevrolet showed moxie in trying to challenge the Italian thoroughbred like that, on the styling front, anyway. Source: www.theglobeandmail.com
