"Chevrolet had actually planned on making this family minded sports car at a rate of 40 per year, and to call it 'Corvette America.' It was designed by California Custom Coach in Pasadena.

How is this any different than the Porche Panamera...?!
The Panamera is faster, handles better, looks better, and costs less! Lol
The proportions are a bit skewed....lol
Not for Batman.
